Second Day of Creation

From Sunday's Message: From Chaos to Order.
On the second day of creation God created the atmosphere which was nothing to sneeze at since it is a very complicated system of layers. Each of the five layers of our atmosphere are crucial and each serves a distinct function. Without even one of the layers life as we know it on earth would not exist. 

When you read the account in Genesis 1:6-8 it hardly seems important but there is so much in those few verses. 

It tells us something about God's creation. Even in the seemingly small details God knew what he was doing since at the time that the atmosphere was created there wasn't anything that actually needed what it provided namely air. But God was making provision ahead of time for what he was going to create.

Think about that for a minute. God planned way ahead for his creation. In fact the word of God tells us that Jesus Christ is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world meaning that even before the world was created God already knew what was going to be needed for the redemption of mankind, namely a sinless, perfect sacrifice. God in his infinite wisdom and knowledge and omniscience knows the end from the beginning.

What does that mean for me and you today? Simple. That nothing is going to happen to you today that you and God can't handle. He has already made provision for you and he knows the outcome when you trust him to walk you through it.

We serve an awesome God!

That's a very comforting thought Sherry. It gives me peace of mind knowing that He created it all and He knows everything about me and my circumstances. All I need to do is put my trust in Him.
