15 Days Through the Bible

CREATION: Number one in the Series, 15 days through the Bible

   The Bible begins "without" a bang. No messy explosion, or chemical reactions, but an artistic expression better than any Bob Ross landscape. We are given a front row seat to the absolute majesty. His authority  every created element and even His personality. God is a God of order, and takes great care to prepare His creation. 

   God knew exactly what He wanted to create and what His creation would need to thrive. He speaks it into being. 

     We begin to see who God is on the first page of His word to us. He is a God of creativity and order, making sure that everything is in place for the beings He will place in this amazing home.
Water, sky, land and air are lovingly and precisely woven into the landscape, as He pictures the creatures He will entrust this amazing abode to. Flowers, cascading water features, and textures are placed with precise flourishes. Then He joyously creates animals, enjoying each creature and its goodness.

Everything that God created existed in perfect harmony as He prepared to place humans on the earth.
All of His creation did as it was planned to do, and it all depended on Him for its existence.

The sun never questions it's place in creation, it rose and set as God appointed it to, glorifying its creator with each rotation.  
God knows the cost that He will have to pay, He knows what is going to take place, yet still He creates, gives and loves. These pieces of His character are; Omnipotent (all powerful), Omniscient (all knowing), Merciful, Wise, Gracious, Good and Unchanging. 

Genesis 1:28-31

²⁸ God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

²⁹ Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ³⁰ And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

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