Genesis 1.1-19
The Story of Creation
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was
barren, with no form of life; it was under a roaring ocean covered
with darkness. But the Spirit of God was moving over the water.
The First Day
God said, "I command light to shine!" And light started shining. God
looked at the light and saw that it was good. He separated light from
darkness and named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Evening
came and then morning—that was the first day.
The Second Day
God said, "I command a dome to separate the water above it from the
water below it." And that's what happened. God made the dome and
named it "Sky." Evening came and then morning—that was the second day.
The Third Day
God said, "I command the water under the sky to come together in one
place, so there will be dry ground." And that's what happened. God
named the dry ground "Land," and he named the water "Ocean." God
looked at what he had done and saw that it was good. God said, "I
command the earth to produce all kinds of plants, including fruit
trees and grain." And that's what happened. The earth produced all
kinds of vegetation. God looked at what he had done, and it was good.
Evening came and then morning—that was the third day.
The Fourth Day
God said, "I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day
from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years.
I command them to shine on the earth." And that's what happened. God
made two powerful lights, the brighter one to rule the day and the
other to rule the night. He also made the stars. Then God put these
lights in the sky to shine on the earth, to rule day and night, and
to separate light from darkness. God looked at what he had done, and
it was good. Evening came and then morning—that was the fourth day."
God bless you.
