Implications

1. God prepares before He fills. His whole purpose is never known at once.

2. The principle of separation – godliness, holiness our attitude (know it all).

3. God not only ‘spoke’ things into being (days 1-3), He also made things (days 4-6).

He made great lights v15

He created creatures in the sea v21

He made the beasts on the land v25

He made Man v26

4. Like God we are to use our ‘spiritual facilities’ as well as our ‘physical facilities’.

5. Times and seasons are important to God.

6. The things God blessed we should respect

- Animals (His creation) Gen 1:22

- Sabbath rest Gen 2:3 (fellowship of believers, gathering together, His presence).

- Family Gen 9:2 (Noah)

- Covenant with Noah and his descendants Gen 12:1-3 (The family of God)
