Day 2
Faith Fact:
God is my creator
Faith Verse:
“I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Psalms 119:11 (NLT)
Question of the Day:
Who created the world?
Read:
Genesis 1:1-5
Do you ever look around at our beautiful world and think, Where did it all come from? Or have you ever seen a weird animal like an aardvark or a platypus and thought, Who made them? Or do you wonder why all those tiny bugs are here? The answer to all of those questions is God! He is the ultimate Creator. God created everything!
That may get you thinking of the next question:
How did God create everything?
We find the answer to these questions in the very first chapter of the very first book of the Bible. Genesis 1 tells us that God has always been here. He was here before people, before animals, before everything! Looking at how God took time to create the world shows us that God has a plan. He made most of the world by speaking, but He made people by hand! People play a special role in God’s creation! Let’s take a closer look at Genesis 1.
Talk about it:
Pray about It:
God, You are our Creator. Thank You for creating us in a special way. I want to always remember that You have made each one of us special. Help us to reflect You, so that others will see You when they look at us. Amen.
God is my creator

Question of the Day:
How did God create the Earth?
Read:
Genesis 1:6-25
Making things takes time. If you’re making a cake or building something, there are normally some instructions to follow. There are steps that you have to take in a certain order. The only person that knows how to do it without the instructions is the one who created it.As we look at the way God created the Earth, He was like a master chef or a professional builder. He took His time and paid attention to every detail.Can you imagine if God would have made things out of order? What would have happened if He made fish before the ocean or monkeys before trees? Things would have gotten very crazy if He created birds before He separated the sky from the land. God took His time to make sure that everything was done in the perfect order. He created light before there was night. He separated the land from the sea and the sky. He created land and trees. God didn’t overlook anything. He didn’t need instructions because He is the master Creator. Let’s take a closer look at exactly how God did all this and see if we can answer these questions.
Talk about It:
Pray about It:
God, You do everything perfectly. You don’t make mistakes. You do everything on time. That means You made each one of us on purpose, and You paid special attention to every part of our lives. Help us to live in a way that brings You glory and honor. Amen.
God is my Creator.

People!God did something very special when He created people. With the same breath that God used to speak and create the universe, He breathed life into the first man. I don’t know about you, but when I blow into things they don’t come to life! Some things might make noise like a kazoo or get bigger like a balloon, but they don’t start living. God is so powerful!
