Creation 1

I recently returned from a vacation in Florida. Going to the beach is one of my favorite places in the world. As I stare at the ocean I can’t help but think about God and creation. To look at the ocean and how vast it is can be an overwhelming experience. The water seems like it is endless. The sand is beautiful and the shells. Different colors shapes and sizes. I can’t imagine an explosion making such detail and beauty. This week I want us to reflect on nature and creation and how amazing our God is. He’s big enough to create the heavens and the earth and yet personal enough to listen to our everyday concerns. Let us praise Him.

Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
