Read Genesis 1
From nothing came everything. In progressive fashion everything came forth under God's direction. This story of our beginnings explains that every creature, every molecule, every light photon in the cosmos has its origin in the mind and plan of a creative God. The caretaker and steward of the world was mankind. All matter was created in the beginning including the atoms that make up your body. Take a look at your hands and skin. You are much older than what your birth certificate states. The atoms that constitute your body have been traveling through space and time for a long, long time. Blessed with the privilege and responsibility to the bear the image of God in this world, mankind was to reproduce, fill the earth, and work the creation into order and blessing to God. God said this was good, very good.
Read Genesis 2:1-3
Rest. A rhythm of nature was established. Work and rest. Day and night. Changing seasons. A food chain. Reproduction built into the system where created ones would continue to develop and multiply. A creative divine rhythm and flow for life to continue.
Oh what an amazing God. How wonderful to know that all the beauty you see today was formed first in the mind of a loving God.
