Bible Commentary

Genesis 1:9

On the third day, God separates water from land, preparing the earth for plants and life. Every step of creation is purposeful — God is making a home for the creatures and people He will make.

Memory phrase: God made the land appear.

Talk about it: What would happen if there was no dry land — just water everywhere?

Prayer: God, You made the ground I walk on. Thank You for making a place for me to live.
