The Sixth Day of Creation
The second 24-hours. What a day! Jillions of land animals boil up from the ground in species, scattering everywhere. But God's Grande Finale that Friday was a single man, in God's image! Adam, the only truly self-aware creature on earth saw, because He sees; heard because He hears; thought because He thinks; knew because He knows. First son; first friend of God!
Genesis 1:27-28 - "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Blessed Without A Prayer
There is no mention of any kind of prayers in the Creation story of Genesis. Nothing is said about prayer until the days of Adam and Eve's grandchildren, when "men began to call upon the name of the LORD," 4:26. But there is a reasonable explanation for the absence of prayer before that time. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were perfectly blessed. If mankind had never sinned, we would never have needed to pray.
Genesis 1:27 - "So God created man in his own image, ...male and female created he them. And God blessed them."
Alternative Medicine
The old-timers were probably right. Drugs and witchcraft are first-cousins. Nobody can know for sure just what can happen when molecules are manufactured in a laboratory. Harmful side-effects and reactions often result from pharmaceutical drugs. Illicit drugs regularly kill, addict, or sicken. Natural herbs contain God-made molecules that mankind has been accustomed to since the beginning of time. That is God's natural medicine cabinet.
Genesis 1:30 - "I have given every green herb for meat." Ezekiel 47:12: "...the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
The Seventh Day of Creation
A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. Scientists estimate the universe is 28 billion light-years wide, containing 100 billion galaxies, each one containing 100 billion stars. Meanwhile, one human has almost 100 trillion living cells working in perfect synchronization. God invented, created and meticulously oversees every speck. He sanctified a day of rest to view, contemplate and enjoy it all.
Genesis 2:2 - "...on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."
The supernatural began working.....
Here is another OMBS BibleStudy
Exponential Potential
If I give you one kernel of corn, can you plant every kernel that may ever grow from it? One kernel produces one plant, but one plant produces many ears of corn with thousands of kernels. Here is infinite exponential potential - a world full of corn! Your godly, obedient act of faith has infinite future potential. Commit that act today!
Genesis 1:12 - "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."
The Fourth Day of Creation
The light God made on the first day was supernatural, not emanating from a natural source. Without it, the universe was totally dark. The sun, moon, and stars were not created until this fourth day. 24-hour days only began AFTER the fourth day when 100 billion galaxies with about 100 billion stars apiece were created. The first four days might have spanned aeons.
Genesis 1:16 - "...God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."
The Eye of God
The Hubble telescope photographed a Nebula called the "Eye of God." It looks like a beautiful blue eye surrounded by great luminescence. Actually, it is a gaseous tunnel almost a trillion miles deep. Another photo captures one entire spiraling galaxy sitting angular to another spiraling galaxy just behind it - all within a pin- hole view of space. I will live my life any way the Bible requires for the chance to see the One who created that. I've nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Genesis 1:16 - "...he made the stars also."
The Fifth Day of Creation
Yesterday was the last timeless Wednesday. The brand new solar system gives earth its first 24-hour day. Thursday evening, God creates every fish, bird, and water mammal. Overnight, the entire earth begins seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. Totally, inexplicably awesome!
Genesis 1:20,22 - "...God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven ...Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth."
