Bible Commentary

Genesis 1:4

God evaluates His creation and declares it good — this is the first of seven times He does so in this chapter. Order and goodness come from God's hand; He brings beauty out of chaos.

Memory phrase: God saw it was good.

Talk about it: Why do you think God said the light was good?

Prayer: God, You make good things. Help me see and enjoy the good things You have made.
