SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 01/13/2006
My Worship Time Focus: Part
2 Creation of Man
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: Genesis 1:29-31
Message of the verse: “29 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; 30 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. 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And
there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”
As
I was reading Dr. Wiersbe’s notes on this first chapter of Genesis he said that
God created the earth on the first four days and then He filled it on the next
three days. As I look at the creation of
the animals and man this is part of filling the earth, but verses 29 and 30
describes how God filled the animals and also man by giving them the plants and
also the fruit from the plants as food.
I do believe that these days were 24 hour days, and I also believe that
there were never any animals on the earth until this time, and that all of
these animals ate nothing but plants and the fruit from them, including the
fruit from the trees that God created.
Verse thirty give kind of a commentary from God about all of His
creation, for it says “God saw all that He made, and behold, it was very good.” God looked over all that He had created in
this week of creation, the earth, the stars, the seas, the dry ground, the
fish, the birds, the animals, and man and said that all of this was very good,
and it surely was. Now in the next
chapter it will show that on the seventh day God would rest from His work, and
thus make the seventh day a holy or Sabbath day.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: As I look at what God said after creation was
over, that it was very good, I cannot help but think that, that is what I
should be able to say after each day of my life that I walk with my Creator
God, that, that day was very good, but I cannot always say that because of the
times when I have sinned against Him.
The Word of God has challenged my
heart as I read it and studied it this morning.
My Steps of Faith Today:
Continue to trust the Lord to direct my path, and to teach me to be
content to walk with the King today and be a blessing, and to trust the Lord to
give me the things to say at our Bible Study that will be pleasing to Him and
helpful to all who attend.
