Bible Verse of The Day – 10-4-22

Genesis 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. The earth was without form. It was empty. His Spirit moved over the face of the waters.

There was nothing before day one. It was still and empty.

On the first day, God said, “Let there be light”, and He divided the light from the darkness. He called the light day and the darkness night. And the evening and morning were the first day.

On the second day, He divided the waters under the firmament from the waters above the firmament calling it heaven and earth.

When day three came He brought the water under the heavens together in one place, making the dry land appear.

He called the dry land, earth.

He gathered the waters together and called them sea. He also added grass, seed-yielding herbs and fruit-yielding trees to the land. Each yielded seeds according to its kind.

On Day four, He added lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide day from night.

These were also to be for signs and seasons, for the days and for the years. They were also placed in the heavens to give light onto earth.

He made two great lights; one to rule the day and the lesser light to rule at night. He also made the stars on this day as well.

Day five, He made the moving creatures in the waters and fowl that may fly above the earth. Also on that day, He made great whales, and every living creature that moves in the seas and every winged fowl after his kind.

Day six came. On that day God made the cattle, every creeping thing, beast of the earth after his kind. and cattle after their kind.

Also on the sixth day, God said, “let us make man in our image, after Our likeness, and let them have dominion” over everything.

He created them male and female in His image, saying “be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth.”

God gave us everything we needed. He provided every good thing for us and saw that it was very good.

Then, in Genesis 1:31 & 2:1, God saw everything that He made, and behold, it was very good. The heavens and the earth were finished!

We may not always remember the order in which everything was done. However, what is important to know and to remember is those three words, “it was finished”.

This means it was complete; nothing can be added to His creation or taken away from it. We had everything we needed from the beginning. It was all good!

Afterwards what did He do?

Gen 2:2 says that on the seventh day, God ended His work and rested.

In all of His magnificence, God created us and everything else that we need. And sometimes it’s good for us to be reminded.
