Song: This Is My Father's World
Scripture: Genesis 1:1-25
Today is Thursday and it’s likely a busy day for you. I don’t know what time God started working on the first Thursday that ever was. But it was a busy day for Him.
It was today, Thursday, that God populated the skies and the seas. It was today that the first cardinal called, the first goose gandered, the first mourning dove moaned, and the first hummingbird hovered. I wonder—do the birds sing louder today? For today is their birthday. I wonder—did He make them all at once? Or one by one did He add them in stunning crescendo to the first orchestra of praise that winged creation ever conducted at Jehovah’s direction and to His glory?
It was today, Thursday, that the first jellyfish jiggled, the first tuna schooled, the first catfish jumped, and the first Salmon swam upstream. I wonder—do the whales and dolphins frolic with greater revelry today? Because it was on Thursday that their great-great-great… and so on grandparents first toured the seas. It was today after all that finned creation first explored the ocean paths and staked claim to turquoise depths and blue-green wonders in their Maker’s name.
Yes, today’s a busy day. But not so busy that you can’t stop and listen to a bluebird’s song or watch the minnows splash in a Gulf-side sunset and then join their praise to our Heavenly Father.
