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
