The Second Day

Genesis 1: 6-8

“6 And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8 God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.”

God put structure to the waters and caused the atmosphere to come into existence on earth.  Without water or air, life on earth would have been impossible and the earth would have been a desolate, empty planet.

The normal human has a blood oxygen level of 95%.   Our bodies are composed of 60% water, with the brain and heart composed of 73% water, and the lungs about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even our bones are composed of  31% water (Journal of Biological Chemistry, 158).

Life on earth was not a random act.  God meant for the earth to be full and abundant, teaming with life,...

and filled with His presence.

May the love of Christ be with you,
