In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth became

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth became waste and emptiness, and darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was brooding upon the surface of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. This light was not the sunlight or the moonlight, but light that separated from darkness. God creates by speaking. Whatever He speaks comes into being. His word is accurate, exact, and powerful.

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,

And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters. And God made the expanse and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. The earth had water, but the water had to be separated for there to be air, without which life could not exist. Light, air, and water are three indispensable tools for life to begin.

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas; and God saw that it Plants need light, air, and water in order to was good. live. Animals need to eat plants to live. And God said, Let the earth sprout grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind with their seed in them upon the earth; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit with their seed in them according to their kind; and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. God’s creation of the universe involved a vast amount of ability. There was an order to things, and it was very exact. Nothing is out of place, and nothing is out of the proper order.

And God said, Let there be light-bearers in the expanse of heaven to separate

And God said, Let there be light-bearers in the expanse of heaven to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; And let them be light-bearers in the expanse of heaven to give light on the earth; and it was so. And God made the two great light-bearers, the greater light-bearer to rule the day and the lesser lightbearer to rule the night, and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of heaven to give light on the earth And to rule over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. God made each of the planets in the universe exactly, each with its own axis and orbit. God made time with a way to keep it. Using the moon and the earth’s rotation on its axis, He determined the length of one day. Using the earth’s orbit around the sun, He set the length of a year. God is exact when it comes to time. And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living animals, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of heaven. And God created the great sea creatures and every living animal that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind; and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth. And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Besides fish, what else lives in the ocean?

And God said, Let the earth bring forth living animals according to their kind,

And God said, Let the earth bring forth living animals according to their kind, cattle and creeping things and animals of the earth according to their kind; and it was so. And God made the animals of the earth according to their kind and the cattle according to their kind and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind, and God saw that it was good. Do you know what livestock is? Do you know what a creeping thing is? What about a beast? Name at least one of each. And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping that creeps upon the earth. And God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over every living that moves upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb that produces seed that is on the surface of all the earth and every tree which has fruit that produces seed; they shall be for you as food. And to every animal of the earth and to every bird of heaven and to everything that creeps upon the earth, in which is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so. And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. In all of God’s creation, man is most like God because God created man in His image and likeness. God wants man to represent Him and to rule over the beautiful earth. We should love the earth and not waste its resources!

Thus the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished. And on

Thus the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished. And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. God is a God of order. There was a set time for each part of His creation, and when he finished His work He rested. Today we should live in the same way! God wants us to work in the daytime and rest at night. Rise up early in the morning and go to bed on time to have a healthy body! We shouldn’t play videogames, watch TV, or be online at late hours of the evening!
