The scripture for today is Genesis 1:20

 

Genesis 1:20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

 

On the fifth day of creation, God made all of the sea life and the birds. When we consider the enormous varieties of both kinds of creatures, we stand in awe of the greatness and magnificent wisdom and creative power of God. What He has done is beyond understanding and, consequently, mankind attempts to discount His works and relegate the awesomeness of the creation week to a process of their own imagination.

 

The religion of evolution would say that Genesis 1:20 is an impossibility. It says that we all evolved from the same single-cell organism over multiplied millions of years. God’s word flies in the face of human speculation and states, without explanation, that God created all things in the beginning. That the creatures on earth could evolve from the creatures in the water (while some still remained in the water) requires a leap of faith that is greater than simply accepting what God said in His word.  

 

In the Garden of Eden, Satan, using the serpent as his medium, said to Eve, “Has God said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1  After explaining that God said they could eat of any of the trees, except the one in the middle of the Garden or they would die, the serpent’s response to Eve was, “You shall not surely die.” Genesis 3:4 In other words, Satan tells her that God is lying to them. Satan calls God a liar. Unfortunately, Eve believed the devil and ate of the forbidden fruit and Adam follow her in this horrible transgression. As a result, death entered the human race.

 

Satan uses the same strategy today. He calls God a liar and points mankind to something other than the word of God. He creates his false reality and leads mankind to follow that instead of God. Animals and fowls did not evolve from fish. The fish and fowls had the same beginning. They were both created on the same day during God's creation week; the fifth day.

 

“O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches. So is this great and wide sea, which teems with things innumerable, both small and great.” Psalms 104:24-25

 

God bless you as you continue in His service.
