As I posted these days, I swapped Day 3 and Day 4,
so we are a bit out of order. Thank God that HE doesn’t make mistakes!!
9God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear.” And that’s exactly what happened. 10God called the dry ground “land.” He called all the water that was gathered together “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, “Let the land produce plants. Let them produce their own seeds. And let there be trees on the land that grow fruit with seeds in it. Let each kind of plant or tree have its own kind of seeds.” And that’s exactly what happened. 12So the land produced plants. Each kind of plant had its own kind of seeds. And the land produced trees that grew fruit with seeds in it. Each kind of tree had its own kind of seeds. God saw that it was good. 13There was evening, and there was morning. It was Day Three. Genesis 1:9-13
Good means “beautiful, the best, perfectly made.” God made a perfect place with plants, trees and water!
Think back to the first day of creation. Light was created just because — GOD SAID! On Day 3 plants and trees were created the same way—just because GOD SAID!
God is so powerful that He didn’t need anything to make the plants and trees. He spoke and they existed.
Think about how many plants and trees there are! Biologists estimate that there are approximately 320,000 species of plants in the world.
73,300 of these are different kinds of trees.
And 250,000 different flowering plants (and trees) exist in the world.
As you are outside today walking around…look at the variety of trees and plants that you see. Find something for each color and enjoy God’s creativity! (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, white, and black!)
Thank God for His creativity in making them all!
