Creation: Land and Seas, Plants and Trees

And God said, “Let the water under
the sky be gathered to one place, and
let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
God called the dry ground “land,” and
the gathered waters he called “seas.”
And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the land produce
vegetation: seed-bearing plants and
trees on the land that bear fruit with
seed in it, according to their various
kinds.” And it was so. The land
produced vegetation: plants bearing
seed according to their kinds and trees
bearing fruit with seed in it according to
their kinds. And God saw that it was
good. And there was evening, and there
was morning—the third day.

“Should you not fear me?” declares the
Lord.
“Should you not tremble in my
presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot
prevail;
they may roar, but they cannot cross
it.

He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for man to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:
wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.

Isaiah 65:17-20, 23-25;

it is Good to Give Thanks

Daniel Henderson

March 16, 2009 Every Sunday morning for over 20 years, with very few exceptions, I have gathered with a group of prayer partners to read a Psalm and then spend an hour in worship-based prayer. Typically, we have started at 6:15 AM. The worship in the Word is sweet and the Spirit always guides us as we take time to specifically focus on prayers for the Sunday services of the church and all God wants to do through them. This past Sunday was no exception. We enjoyed an hour of prayer from Psalm 92. The first verse of the Psalm is very familiar but, as often happens, struck me in a fresh way. It reads:

“It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.” Psalm 92:1-2

The Gospel is the Power of God for Salvation: Romans 1:16-17

John Gill

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

The following commentary is from John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible. For more information on John Gill visit Christianity.com’s Bible Study Tools reference section.
