The trees are perfectly situated, and the flowers bloom at just the right time. Waters flow with precision, and vegetation grows in its assigned season. The sun, moon, and stars perform a daily dance, lighting the skies and guiding our way. In the beginning, God created and said it was good. This is love.

A Good Creation
Formless and empty once was the earth. Darkness covered the surface. And then, with a Word, there was light. At His command, the sky lit up, the seas were formed, plants grew roots, and living creatures filled the sky, land, and waters. Beauty filled every once desolate space. However, creation wasn’t complete, not yet.
God, all-knowing and powerful, holy and perfect in all of His ways, decided to make man in His own image. Male and female, He created humanity to reflect His character, authority, dominion, and holiness. He entrusted man to steward His perfect creation, all while bringing glory to His name.
Creation Testifies
The creation story testifies about the love God has for all He created. His care, intention, and provision are evident in every new bloom, through every changing season, and in the sound of each newborn cry. He cares for His creation, and He especially cares for us. Therefore, when you observe nature, you aren’t just looking at a perfectly blue sky or a picturesque sunset, but the very fingerprint of our invisible God. Our lungs aren’t filled with mere oxygen but the breath of life. He supplies feed for the birds, causes the grass to grow for livestock, and provides crops for man to cultivate and thus produce food. He shoulders our anxieties and strengthens us when we are weak. It is God who sustains all living things because He sustains what He loves.
With Love,
Tamara
Scripture To Meditate On
‘1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.’
‘9The Lord is good to everyone; his compassion rests on all he has made. ‘
’26Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? ‘
’16For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and by him all things hold together. ‘
’14He causes grass to grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, producing food from the earth, ‘
‘4what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man Or a mere mortal that you look after him? ‘
