This week we look at the creation of birds, fish, and animals on the earth with the purpose and blessing of God. There are also these hints at God’s provision in giving things we will need later. What a great and good God we serve.
- (Gen 1:20 ESV) And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”
- (Gen 1:21 ESV) So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
- (Gen 1:22 ESV) And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
- (Gen 1:23 ESV) And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
- (Gen 1:24 ESV) And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds–livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
- (Gen 1:25 ESV) And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
