Genesis 1:20-23 “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. (21) And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (22) And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. (23) And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”
With the creation of dry land on day four, we come now to day five and the creation of life. The text reads “let the waters bring forth abundantly”. From this phrase we are given the creation of all oceanic life.
The creation of plankton to whales is developed inside of a 24 hour period. It even says “great whales” talk about instant growth from nothing to great.
The bible says that out of the water was formed “every living creature that moveth”. This includes every living creature up to this day in creation.
Notice the bible is very clear “after their kind”. This means whales were not breeding dolphins. The shrimp of the ocean didn’t produce tuna. A shark is just going to reproduce a shark. Period.
This day includes not just oceanic life but winged fowl. Consider the beauty of all the birds on our planet. Now back a day or so God created the lights, including the stars, which are surely a work of beauty. However, this is the first day where we find living beauty in animal life.
With all God has fashioned so far you would think that would be enough to satisfy the God of all the Universe. Not so. Even with all of the ocean and birds of the air present something is still missing. God is seeking a being of intelligence that he can fellowship with. This isn’t found in the ocean or in the sky but from the breath of God as we will see later.
Think today of all he made but still he wants you. The sea is good. The sky is good. However, he wants you. Bless his name.
