In The Beginning: Part 4

 In the Beginning: Earth

 


Genesis 1

 

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.”

 

When I read this I think, Pangea or Pangaea.  That is what scientists call the super continent that supposedly existed 335 million years ago.  I don’t know how they dated it, but it’s interesting.  (I see Pangaea breaking up and becoming the continents we know today about the time of “The Flood”, but that’s another story.)

Now god begins to create life for the first time: Grass, herb yielding seed, and trees yielding fruit. Here God is a farmer planning out how our world would feed us.  Neat.

Here we have the seas and dry land.  Plants of every kind growing.  Eden in the making.  God planning to set us up before our creation.  You can see and feel this when you read about this day.  This is just the third day, that would make it the first Tuesday.  😊

God has plans for us, just as he planned out everything we would need before our creation.  He has a plan for each of us, we only need to let him do his work.  Me?  I’m a work in progress myself.  That God continues to show me/us what he can do.  All we have to do is open our eyes, ears, and hearts.

May your faith grow stronger each day and God Bless you in every way. Amen.
