When God created this world out of nothing, it was beautiful and perfect, with only the glory of God shining upon it. How long God enjoyed it Himself, we do not know, but when He began to prepare it for people to live on, He withdrew His light, and it became a scene of darkness. Then He began the six days of preparing the earth for man to live on.
We do enjoy the beauties and wonders of the mountains, valleys, oceans, rivers, waterfalls, etc., and our hearts go out to God who has formed it all, and we gladly own,
“HE HATH MADE TEE EARTH BY HIS POWER, HE HATH ESTABLISHED THE WORLD BY HIS WISDOM.” Jer. 10:12.
But we thank Him still more for His love that gave His only beloved Son to die on the Cross to save us from our sins, and to make us His own children. We shall praise our God and Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ for all that love to us, now and for all eternity.
“Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,... to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:5,6.
