9 January 2014 - The Creation (part five of five)

“Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array”
“God had finished the work he had been doing” by the seventh day
Genesis two verse two says that on this day He did rest
God then made the day holy and forever it was blessed
“Keep the Sabbath…holy” per Exodus twenty verse eight
That is what the fourth commandment does clearly state
But remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees in Mark two
“The Sabbath was made for man”, so that is what we must do

“The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground”
And then gave man the breath of life, Genesis 2 does expound
Into the Garden of Eden, God took the man and had him take care
He could eat anything, except from the tree of knowledge there
If he ate from that tree, he would “surely die” per verse seventeen
God said that man needed a helper, based on what He had seen
So then from one of the man’s ribs, a woman God did create
Which is why man and woman will “become one” to this date
He was called Adam; the woman had yet to be given a name
“The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame”

Psalm eight says “how majestic is your name in all the earth”
For reasons to glorify God, David says that there is no dearth
“Glory above the heavens” and “the works of [his] fingers”
“The moon and the stars” whose light during night lingers
“Made “a little lower than the heavenly beings” was “the son of man”
He has ruled “over the works of [God’s] hands” since time began
David was referring to God’s works during the six days of creation
In this and several other psalms expressing awe and admiration
