Genesis 1:4/10/12/18/21/25 (Nkjv) And God saw that it was good; ......v.31 And God saw that it was very good.
I heard someone talk about Creation in a way I hadn’t seen before and thought it was so helpful I’m passing it on and hope it encourages you too.😊
In the story of Creation in Genesis 1, at the end of each day creating, God would step back and He saw that it was good, even though He still had so much to do. God recognised what He had so far was good.
Each day He added a bit more, the sea, dry land, mountains, etc. and at the end of each day He’d say the same thing and celebrate the ‘good’ that He saw even though the rest was nowhere near finished yet. He saw each day “That it was good!”
Finally on day six, it was all finished and things changed - He stands back and sees “It was very good!”
You see God was teaching us a principle at creation - enjoy the process while you’re on your way to seeing completion. Don’t be so focused on how far you have to go that you miss the joy and contentment of how far you’ve already come, and what you've already achieved. Enjoy and recognise the 'Good' on the way to the 'Very Good'!
So often we miss the moment, we miss the good God gives us each day because we're constantly looking at the next thing. Let's learn to enjoy the 'now' thing.😊
Let's not forget to stand back each day, and whatever progress we made that day, even if it was just to bite our tongue when we wanted to say something, or we saw even a tiny improvement in our health, we were like God and say ”That was good”.
And instead of being on auto-pilot as we go into tomorrow, next month, next year and planning our lives away, looking at the next thing, let’s really stand back each day and enjoy the moment and give God a high five and say with Him “That was good. Thank You so much!”
The 'very good' will come at the right time, but let’s celebrate the 'good' on the way in the meantime.😊
