I got to thinking and it really is amazing how He created EVERYTHING. I mean, there was nothing before Him. Nothing. Pretty hard to comprehend, right? We talked about what it must have been like to be Adam and Eve. To be a brand new person in a brand new place.
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to put this in pictures. The words are from Genesis 1 and 2 from the Beginners Bible (a gift from my mom and dad when I was little).
In the beginning...
In the beginning, the earth was empty.
Darkness covered everything.
But there was God, and He had a plan.
"Let there be light," He said.
And suddenly, golden light shone all around.
God called it "day".
He called the darkness "night".
With the light and the darkeness, the first day passed.
On the second day, God said,
"Let there be a great space".
So the space was formed, deep and high.
God called the space "sky".
God made rivers and seas on the third day.
He formed the mountains and the deserts,
the islands and beaches.
He planted tall trees, swaying grasses,
and flowers of every color.
When the fourth day came,
God put lights in the sky:
the fiery sun for daytime,
the sparkling moon and dancing
stars for night.
On the fifth day, God filled the water
with fishes of all shapes and sizes.
He made the birds to glide across the sky.
God made animals on the sixth day:
furry animals, scaly animals, smooth, sleek animals.
And on that day, God made man.
When He was finished, God saw that everything
He made was very good.
And on the seventh day, He rested.
Adam was the man that God made.
He had a very important job.
He gave names to all the animals.
There were many wonderful animals.
But still, Adam was lonely.
God said, "It is not good for Adam to be alone".
So God made...
a woman.
Adam named her Eve.
Eve was just right to be Adam's special helper.
