Bible Commentary

Genesis 1:3

God is so powerful that He creates just by speaking. His words carry the power to bring life and light out of nothing — and He still speaks today through the Bible.

Memory phrase: God spoke and light came.

Talk about it: What do you think the very first light looked like?

Prayer: God, Your words are powerful. Help me listen when You speak through the Bible.
