Days of Creation

Hello All:

In the few years that the blog was shut down, I did continue to write and developed some new collections or categories of writings that I call memoirs. Like all memoirs, these are centered on a particular topic, theme, or just seem to fit together. 

Channel 0 is one such collection of writings that I want to start releasing on Sundays. These are spiritual writings that are centered on God, Christianity and how we apply our higher aspirations to daily life. I label these writings as Channel 0 because they originate from the most important and fundamental purpose of our life along with the most important things that we learn on Sunday. You can think of Sunday as Channel 0, returning to and reconnecting with God—kind of like zeroing and re-calibrating ourselves. 

As for my other categories of memoirs, I will begin releasing them in upcoming weeks.

The Days of Creation

The days of creation are a well-known and documented in the Bible. But what do they really mean? In this article, we will explore each day of creation in more detail, and discuss what they can teach us about God and his creation.

Day 1: Light

On the first day of creation, God created light. This light was not just the physical light that we see today, but also the spiritual light that gives us understanding and hope. God's light is a powerful force that can overcome even the darkest of darkness.

Day 2: Sky / Atmosphere

On the second day of creation, God created the sky and the atmosphere, the atmosphere being the vital layer of gas that surrounds the Earth with the solid, infinite sky overhead. These two elements are essential for life on Earth, as they provide us with air to breathe and a place to live.

Day 3: Dry Land, Oceans, Trees/Plants

On the third day of creation, God created and separated dry land from the ocean. He also created the trees and numerous plants. This was a major step in the creation of life on Earth, as it provided a place for plants to grow and animals to live. The plants that God created were also essential for providing us with food and oxygen.

Day 4: Sun, Moon and Stars

On the fourth day of creation, God created the sun, moon, and stars. These celestial bodies provide us with light, heat, and seasons. The sun is also essential for plant life, as it provides them with the energy they need to grow.

Day 5: Birds & Sea Creatures

On the fifth day of creation, God created birds and ocean creatures. These animals were created to fill the sky and the ocean. The birds give us beautiful songs to hear. Some birds and fish are also essential for the food chain, as they provide food for other animals and humans.

Day 6: Animals on Land and Humans

On the sixth day of creation, God created the animals that live on land and humans. Animals were created to fill the Earth. Humans were created in God's image, and we are called to care for his creation. Man is given dominion over all the animals and all of the Earth. 

Day 7: Day of Rest

On the seventh day of creation, God rested. This is a reminder that we should also take time to rest and to enjoy God's creation. The Sabbath is a day of worship and of fellowship with God.

The days of creation are a beautiful reminder of God's creative power. They teach us that God is a God of order and of beauty. They also teach us that we are called to care for his creation.
