God‘s
Good
Creation
Lesson 5
Third Day of Creation, Part 2
Can
you believe that we are halfway done with God's Good Creation! I
have enjoyed these lessons and I hope you have too! Let's begin by
reading Genesis chapter 1, verses 11, 12, and 13.
Genesis 1:
11-13 "Then God said, “Let the earth bring
forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that
yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the
earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb
that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that
yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And
God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were
the third day."
On
the third day, God made all the plants. He also made lots of different types
of plants. There are so many uses for them. Trees can be made
into paper for you to draw or color on. Vegetables, such as brocolli,
give us vitamins to help us be healthy. Even sponges are made from
plants!
Can you list a few plants and what we
can use them for?

Today's
fun project is to make a collage of plants that God made. Be sure to
ask your mom for permission to use the scissors and old magazines to cut
up.
Cut out pictures of things that God made on
Day 3 and glue them to a sheet of construction paper. Hang your
beautiful artwork on the refrigerator to remind you all week of God's Good
Creation!
THINK ABOUT THIS!!!
Let's
read another verse from the Bible about plants in God's
world. Find Matthew chapter 6, verses 28, 29, and 30.
Matthew
6:28-30 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet
I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is,
and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe
you, O you of little faith?"
These
verses tell us that the beautiful lilies that God made don't work for
clothes or food and yet God takes care of them. We work for Him and
trust that God will take care of us. Our God is an AWESOME God.
He takes care of us by giving us yummy fruits and vegetables to eat.
This week, when you are at the table, remember to thank God for the food
that you have...and thank your mommy and daddy for giving you the food
too!
Here's your Bible verse for the
week:
"And the earth brought forth grass,
the herb ..., and the tree... And God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:12
