THIS LAND IS OURS!

   

THE CREATION

 

OF THE WORLD

      

DAY ONE In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good:  and God divided the light from the darkness.  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night:  and the evening and the morning were the first day. 

DAY TWO And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters:  and let it divide the waters from the waters.  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:  and it was so.  and God called the firmament Heaven:  and the evening and the morning were the second day. 

DAY THREE And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear:  and it was so.  And God called the dry land

Earth;

and the gathering together of he waters called he Seas:  and God saw that it was good.  And God said, Let the

earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree

yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:  and God saw that it was good.  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  And the evening and the morning were the third day. 

DAY FOUR And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven, to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day, and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness:  and God saw that it was good.  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 

DAY FIVE 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.  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.  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 

DAY SIX And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:  and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.  And God saw every thing that he had made: and behold, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. 

DAY SEVEN And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:  because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.   Genesis 1, 2:3

Now that God has created and given us this wonderful land, we must now learn how to live together, work together, and take care of it together.  Having so much love for us, He gave us wonderful instructions to follow, so that we may be able to do just that.  Some of those instructions are found below.

CHARITY

          

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains and have not charity, I am nothing.  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing...1 Corinthians 13:1-3

...but they that wait upon the Lord

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

We thank God for creating and then giving us this beautiful land that we live on; and then loving us enough to give us instructions on how to live on this wonderful land together, in peace and harmony.  It is indeed our land, and we pray to God to please help us to cherish the land, to love the land, to nurture the land, and to do everything in our power not to destroy it or ourselves.  Once again, we thank you Lord.

Now, I would feel extremely honored, if you would click, once again, on the link below, and allow me to tell you a little bit about myself and about my history.
