Genesis Chapter 1

So for devotions I have been studying the Old Testament. Starting with *drum roll* GENESIS!!! I made an out line of the Chapter.
Here it is!

A. Creation
     1.) Day 1-Light (Day/Night)
     2.) Day 2-Sky
     3.) Day 3-Dry Land
     4.) Day 4-Sun, Moon, Stars (seasons, days, and years)
     5.) Day 5-Animals
          a) Commanded to be fruitful
     6.) Day 6-Humans
          a) Made in God's likeness
          b) Have dominion over the animals
          c) Be fruitful
      7.) He saw made sure everything was "good"

Chapter 1 of Genesis is about the the first 6 days of creation. God didn't NEED 6 days, but I believe He chose to take 6 days to be an example. If God took 6 days to create the universe, then I think we can take our time in getting things done. Now I am not saying to procrasinate, but we tend to get try to squeeze as many things as we can in 1 day. Then we are up all hours of the night and then we aren't taking care of our bodies which is the temple of God ( 1 Cor. 3:16). Another reason why I think He took 6 days is this one little saying that was repeated in almost every verse (at least so it seemed) "...and God saw that it was good." He took His time and made sure the job was done right! I hate when people do a job half-way. AND SOMETIMES I AM THE ONE DOING IT HALF-WAY!! Ugh! It is sooo frustrating! I usually end up going back and doing it again anyways! The Bible says to "do all to the glory of God." ( 1 Cor. 10:31). So we are suppose to do all things well. And God is the perfect example of that when He created the world.

Well it is getting late and I have school in the morning! I have lots more to post! :)
