... and so He rested

Our day is 24 hours
God’s day is however long or short He desires

It is not us who determines or decides

It is God
and God alone

The earth
a planet empty of all but water
a planet surrounded in darkness

God brought light,
He spoke and it was so
The light of Day
separated
the eternal darkness of Night

God separated the waters one from another
and in the midst
God formed an open expanse,
a firmament --
that and that above
Heaven
and of all below,
amid the waters,

Dry Ground

The Earth
and The Seas
filled with grasses and trees
fruits, animals and birds,
fish of every kind

God said,
“Let there be lights.”
Lights in the heavens
to be for signs and seasons,
days and years,
for  light upon the earth
and God made the Sun
to rule the Day, and
the Moon to rule the Night
and also the stars.

God created humans --
from the dust of the ground
He breathed life into mankind
in His image, His likeness,
male and female
and He blessed us
Be fruitful and multiply,
Fill the earth and subdue it
Have dominion over the fish,
the birds, every living thing
that moves on the earth.

God was pleased.

He saw everything
He had made
and it was very good

and so He rested.
