"...It Was Good."

God in His grace and love for us created this beautiful earth. He said, "Let the earth bring forth ..." and it was done. Soon after the words were spoken, this world was filled with plants - herbs, grasses, bushes, trees with buds then flowers and fruit -- in abundance! God planned every type of vegetation that we would need and put it on this earth, fully available to everyone of us! We have not even begun to determine all of the wonderful uses for our natural resources. The colonists, Native Americans and pioneers all used roots, stems, leaves for a variety of purposes. Some of that knowledge has been hidden from us today. Pharmaceudical companies are continuing to find remedies for all types of ailments through testing on many types of plantlife. Yet, when the process of Creation was complete, in God's eyes, "it was good." That phrase is used four times in Genesis chapter one. Something totally incomprehensible to me is that it is not only good, It Is GREAT! It is unbelievably incredible. If God sees His creative work in this earth, as being "good," what more can we expect when we enter into the gates of Heaven. Revelation 22:1-6 give us just a little glimpse of what that will be. In the meantime, we have representations of the the Genesis Creation in our own gardens; the very flowering plants, herbs that we tend to give us pleasure. Let's thank Him for those bright spots which draw us to meditate on His Goodness. PS Photo Coming
