Creation: How Did It Begin?

God created an abundance
Genesis 1:19-25

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Psalm 54-58 : PM - Acts 26

So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good
(Gen. 1:21).

My wife and I have been privileged to travel to many different places. We have come to appreciate the beauty and diversity of God's created world and have explored some of the natural wonders of the world.

We have marveled at the variety of God's creation as we viewed the beauty of pristine lakes in Northern Nevada, majestic mountains in Colorado, living deserts in Arizona, and picture perfect blue skies in California. We were amazed by the number of animals we saw in Africa, lions, antelope, impala, rhinoceros, elephants, monkeys, hippopotamus, and giraffe. We feel blessed and awed, by the abundance and sheer magnificence of all God has made.

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!

Thank You, God, for Your abundance.
