Bible Commentary

Genesis 1:23

The fifth day closes, and with it the waters and skies are filled with living, blessed creatures. Creation is filling up — and God's generosity overflows in every new living thing.

Memory phrase: God finished the fifth day.

Talk about it: What was your favourite creature God made on the fifth day?

Prayer: God, thank You for all the creatures You made on day five. The world is more wonderful because of them.
