God Made the World

God saw all that he had made and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:31

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Genesis 2:3

We have seen a lot of changes in our world. The computers, the microwave ovens and many more items were not available when the seniors of today were children. Even television was invented during my lifetime. Cell phones became popular long after television.

Yet I am amazed that God made the world and man in such a way that we could continue to discover what he put before us. There will be more new items each year. Have you thought about the fact that God made the week which the world still uses in the year 2021? And Sunday is a holy day when Christians worship. When I was a child, most stores were closed on Sunday.

It is also interesting to me that the world counted downwards before Jesus, the Son of God, was birthed by Mary. Since that time the world counts upwards from 1 to 2021. Jesus only lived for about 30 years but changed the world.

I can see God’s part in creation when I see a seed I plant turn into an exquisite flower. Look at and admire the leaves, the petals and the stamen. Then think how he makes humans with unbelievable brains.

Prayer: Dear father in heaven, thank you that we can discover new things about the world you created. Thank you for keeping the days and the nights the same. Thank you for keeping the seasons the same. Thank you for giving us the same number of hours in each day. We can trust you. Amen
