“God’s Wonderful Creatures.”
Thursday, May 8, 2025Key Verse
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Text — Genesis 1:1-27
Message
Having just been created by God, Adam the first man on earth, found himself surrounded by a beautiful garden called Eden. Up above the sun shone with a warm glow. Around him there were all kinds of trees with fruits to eat. There were many animals too, and all of them were friendly. There were birds, climbing animals and creeping insects. God brought all the creatures He had created to Adam, and whatever name Adam decided on, that was its name. After this, God made Eve as a help mate and close friend to Adam.
Isn’t it wonderful to realize that of all the thousands of creatures God created, only Adam was made in His image? God placed a spirit inside Adam so that he could talk to God, be creative, love, and feel the need to be loved. When God made you He also placed a spirit inside you- a part of you that will live forever and ever. As part of God’s beautiful creation, God took as much care to form you as He did when He formed Adam (Psalm139:13).
God has made you with a special purpose: to know Him and to bring Him pleasure and make Him very happy. This is the reason why you must willingly surrender to God, do His will and serve Him faithfully till the end.
