Very Good

Genesis 1

1a In the beginning God created...

31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.

As we mark the beginning of a New Year, it is only fitting to remember that in the beginning God created. He created everything that exists. The earth and everything contained therein. The universe, and everything contained therein. Each of the six days of creation, God looked over what He had made and declared it to be “good.” That is, until the 6th day, when God created human beings, and then He declared His creation to be “very good.” Just as God decided that humans would be the crowning glory of creation, we humans need to acknowledge and worship God as the Master Creator. I LOVE the fact that this year, we get to start the New Year off in corporate celebration on the Lord’s Day. May the new beginning of a new year bring about a renewed desire to celebrate Jesus every day. May I look around at what God is doing in my life and together with Him declare that it is “very good.”
