Genesis 1:13

Genesis 1:13

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The third day ends, and with it the land, seas, and all plant life are in place. The rhythm God built into creation — evening and morning — speaks of rest, order, and faithfulness. Each day He completes what He sets out to do.

Memory phrase: God finished the third day.

Talk about it: What did God make on the third day? Can you remember all three things?

Prayer: God, thank You for finishing what You start. Thank You for land, seas, and plants.
