Genesis #2
1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim
the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light." This verse came to mind when thinking about God bringing forth
creation after not before light was created.
Overall, it is awesome to think about
how intelligent and purposeful God was in creating.
Plants live by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can only occur when a plant has access to water, carbon dioxide, sunlight and chlorophyll. Plant cells naturally produce chlorophyll, and they draw carbon dioxide directly from the air. Water and sunlight must be acquired from external sources. Animals and mankind need oxygen which plants produce along with water, light, and food - plants to eat.
I also thought about how light waves allow us to see color. Imagine without light there would be no color! How dull! God is not dull, is He? It made me think of an old friend who was born without the ability to see color, Achromatopsia (ACHM). The world has been black and white to him his whole life. He doesn't know what red is, or blue, or green. And, I realized for the first time that I couldn't describe a color to someone without using another color.
In His order of creation I saw that God is not indifferent to the needs of creation, either. There is no reason for my doubt of His care for me.
Man has value, purpose, equality, and beautiful differences to reflect the characters of God. The way each think and process is so different! I, and I think a lot of us girls, wish that men would think like we do. When I remember that each is wired by God to reflect Him, it makes me look at him so differently!... more like a mystery to be revealed.
Purpose: To be fruitful, fill the earth, and have dominion over creation. Have lots of babies( ever wonder why there are Muslims everywhere??), make disciples, move - spread out, go to the nations, and take care of nature - plant gardens.
