THE SIXTH DAY

Gen 1:26-31 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

The majesty and elegance of God's miracles are all around us. Our very lives bear witness to HIS power, mercy, and grace. We, and every creature with the breath of life is a miracle. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. [ 1Co 15:39 ] Their creation, birth, life on earth, death and existence is a miracle. One that cannot be invented, duplicated, or created by man. How many miracles have you witnessed this week? If you look, you will see.

When we take the time and put in the effort to read our Bibles, a real and powerful dialog begins to take place between you and your Maker. Holy Scripture is the Lord's favorite way of communicating with us.

When you study your Bible, you are actually studying the personal personality of God. HIS words come alive. They reveal a most wonderful Creator. The more you know, the more you want to know.

Here are two miracles that you can witness most every day. The SUNRISE and the SUNSET. Since the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1:26-31), not one SUNRISE nor SUNSET has ever been identical. Ever! Each stand alone and is different from all others and can never be repeated. They are God's daily gift to us.

As our Father opens the day with brilliant colors, vibrant clouds, golden light, He refreshes us through the spiritual promise of today. Today is all we have. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is never promised to anyone. Only today. This is SUNRISE.

In the evening, we again may feast our eyes on the celestial artwork of the Master as He brings our day to a close and we retire to recharge for what we pray will be tomorrow. The gift of SUNSET. HIS gift of daily rest.

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen
