Creation: How Did It Begin?

God created with purpose
Genesis 1:14-18, 26

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Psalm 48-53 : PM - Acts 25

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

Bessie's husband wanted to express his love in a special way on one of their wedding anniversaries. Since one of his hobbies was making turquoise jewelry, he decided to design a high quality silver and turquoise ring in the shape of her initial B. She felt truly honored when he presented it to her, for he had created this unique gift out of love.

The essence of God's nature is love. By His spoken word and infinite will, God created with unique design and purpose.

To humankind, His highest creation, God gave the privilege of ruling over the earth and all it contained. What a unique gift from our loving God!

I Praise You, Lord, for Your unchanging love and enduring Word that will achieve Your purpose.
