1. The fourth day of creation (14-19)

God put a great light in the sky--the sun. He put it there to give light to the earth, to rule the sky, and to glorify himself. He filled the night sky with the moon and stars. These lights mark the orderly flow of time. So God created time. Time is the stuff of which history is made.

2. The fifth day of creation (20-23)

God created the creatures of the sea--fish and reptiles; he created the birds to fly across the sky. He blessed his creatures and commanded them to fill the empty ocean and sky. Each living creature was made to reproduce according to its kind. God was pleased, and he blessed his work.

3. The beginning of the sixth day (24-25)

On the sixth day God made the land animals. The stage was set for the creation of mankind. On the 4th, 5th and 6th days God filled the environment he had prepared with life and beauty. God was pleased.

Application: Father, praise your holy name, for you are almighty and you are good. Help me to give you glory during my brief lifetime.
One Word: God made everything beautiful
