Creation 2

While on the way to Florida we had to drive through Tennessee and the Smokey Mountains. This is another place that I love to visit. Sometimes looking at the mountains you think that possible God’s foot is going to just step down on one. Being in a cabin on a mountain makes me feel closer to God. Being so high up makes me feel close to heaven and to our Heavenly Father. As I examine the mountains I again want to praise God for his beautiful creation. The enormity and beauty of nature makes my heart want to seek the one who created it. Most of us live or work in cities that are crowded with buildings, cars and smog. I challenge you to look around at what God has created this week. Appreciate the work of the hand of God. Praise Him for creating such an amazing place for us to enjoy.

Genesis 1
The Beginning
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
