It was Good

Beginning a new year often begins with a renewed interest in many Christians to read the Bible. I along with many have made a concerted effort to build my devotion time and my spiritual reading time. As I have been reading in Genesis 1 the overarching theme in my mind was that God created everything with meticulous detail.

He didn't create somethings and think 'oops messed up there' or start over on a day. Each day was purposeful and built on one another. At the end of each day he notes that 'It was good'. What was even more interesting to me was after the sixth day of creation there wasn't a simple 'It was good.' Scripture notes that it was 'very' good.

I think we forget that ALL things were made by God and they are ALL good in his eyes. What seems to blind this fact is our interpretation of 'things' and people. It comes as a shock to many but God didn't ask our opinion on whether His creation was 'good.' He stated as fact that it was!

As I go through my day and interact with His creations both human and otherwise I pray that I remember that in His eyes they are good and if He thinks they are good then I should believe that the inherit nature of all things is that of 'good'.
