Read Genesis chapter 1 VERSE: Genesis 1:31–God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning–the sixth day. TRUTH: Have you ever wondered why God made mosquitos? I have. I’ve been sitting outside at night, enjoying a pleasant evening when all of a sudden, I’ve been bitten by one. There are any number of things that we can wonder why God made and what purpose they have. Ultimately, we see in this verse that God did create everything and that He deemed it all very good. Before sin entered the world and there were fundamental changes to how creation interacted…

Read Romans chapter 1 VERSE: Romans 1:20–For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. TRUTH: As we look around us, we see the amazing creation of God. We find ourselves drawn to amazing displays of nature. Why is that? Because those displays show the amazing qualities of our amazing Creator. We have no excuse to not see or believe in the Creator based on seeing His invisible qualities so majestically displayed across the canvas of this world. Do we credit the Creator and give Him the praise and…

VERSE: Hebrews 11:3–By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so what is seen was not made out of what was visible. TRUTH: God made the universe out of nothing. He took and formed and created everything that we see, both near and far, from out of the nothingness that was before. How do we know this?

VERSE: 2 Chronicles 36:21–The land enjoyed its Sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah. TRUTH: The disobedience of the people of Israel even affected the land they were on. Because they were disobedient to God, they had not taken care of the land the way God had told them to. As a result, when the people were overthrown and deported, it allowed the land to be able to rest as God had intended. God cares for all of His creation and He has asked us to care for it as well.…
