It is Good

Our God did not bring about creation using the strategy of an architect or the designs of an engineer. Rather, his creation came from the manner of an artist painting a masterpiece. His work of creation was like that of a composer writing a harmonious symphony. Projects like these take months, perhaps years of planning, yet God spoke......and it happened.

God had one statement at the completion of each day of creation. "It is good." In fact, at the end of the 6th day,

"God saw everything he had made and it was very good." Genesis 1:31

Scan through Genesis 1 and select from the things made, those things you appreciate the most. Hard to do isn't it? Everything that was created in the formation of the world, was leading toward a purpose and a fulfillment......including YOU! And God is still in the business of "good things."

Think for a moment about the contrast between darkness and light. Have you experienced dark moments in your life? Then you know how to appreciate His marvelous light. "It is very good."

Today spend some time recalling past problems, habits or sins. Then remember the relief of experiencing forgiveness. "It is very good."

We know this life offers the bumps and bruises of struggle, and sometimes tragedy. Think about how God has brought you through the adversity and into His victory. "It is very good."
