God Made Land, Plants, Sea

Genesis 1:9-13

Our true story comes from a book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.”

We have learned that in the very beginning there was nothing but God. Then, God made everything!


Day one, God made the light and dark. Day two, God made the sky above the water. And it was good.


On day three, God made LAND! And God made SEAS! But that’s not all! There’s more!


On day three, God also made PLANTS!


So on day three, God made the land, plants, and seas! And it was good.


Count with me: Day one, God made the light and dark. Day two, God made the sky above the water. Day three, God made land, sea, and plants! And these were just SOME of the things God made. Because God made everything!



Bible Paraphrase: God saw everything he had made. And it was very good. – Genesis 1:31, NIrV
Text Truth: On day three, God made the land, plants, and sea.


Family Devotional

Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. – Genesis 1:9-13

The world is full of so many amazing things! When you think about all of these amazing things, it shows us how amazing God really is.

In our Bible story, we learned that on day three, God made the land, plants, and the sea. He made all of the jungles and super tall mountains and deserts of sand and volcanoes and all kinds of trees and flowers and berry bushes and vegetables and huge seas with big crashing waves! God really did make everything!

God saw everything he had made. And it was very good. – Genesis 1:31 NIrV

With your family, make a list of your favorite things to do on land and in the sea. Your thing can be hiking, digging in the dirt, or making sand castles. Or it can be fishing, swimming, playing in the waves, or going on boat rides. There are so many fun things to do on the land and in the sea!

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. Thank God for making such an awesome world for you to live in. Thank God for making the land, the plants and the seas. Acknowledge to God that you love... (read through your list). Ask God to help you never lose sight of how wonderful the things God made are and that you are always thankful.

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g...

Jacob and Esau

Image
Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
