The First Seven Days
Did you know that during the first seven days of your life, you are just about as big as a grain of sugar? You’re already made up of many tinier parts, though, that will make up all the bigger parts of you later on. It also takes seven days for most insect eggs to hatch and seven days for some baby plants to get their first leaves. Indeed, many wonderful things can happen in just seven days, and that’s how long it took God to make the world we live in, too!
At the beginning of time, there was nothing, only God. There were no people. There wasn’t a single plant or creature. There was no sound, not even the gentlest whisper of air. There wasn’t a speck of light either.
“I can’t see anything,” God said as He sat in the endless darkness. “Is there any way I can get some light in here?”
And just like that, light appeared. It started out as a tiny white spark, then it turned into a golden flame. It got bigger and bigger, becoming a bright, burning ball. Then it burst like a balloon, the light inside it escaping to create such a huge splash.
God liked the light, but He also thought it was too bright to be there everywhere all the time, so He placed it in a giant jar. Whenever the light was in the jar, it was dark, and whenever the jar was opened, the light spilled everywhere, and everything was bright. To make it easier for the jar to open and close, too, God made two buttons that He could just press. He labeled the button to open the jar Day and the button to close the jar Night. Together, Day and Night combined to create one day.
This was the very first day.
Now that God had finished separating light and darkness and Day and Night, he decided to divide space. There was just too much space around Him, after all. God drew a great, big line, and He called the space above it Heaven.
Just like that, the second day was over.
As God sat in Heaven, He realized that there wasn’t much to see. The space had been divided, but it was still empty, like a blank sheet of paper. So on the third day, God decided to make something. He created water from his fingertips and shaped it into a giant ball. It was beautiful! However, it looked too…blue and too clean.
“I think it needs a bit of dirt,” God said.
So He created some dirt in the palm of His hand, and He placed smudges of it on the ball. He molded it into different shapes - some round, some long and thin, and some square but with rough edges. He also molded the surface of the land, making some parts higher and some parts lower. In this way, God made the mountains, hills, valleys, and plains. He also made steep cliffs and underground caves. God called the land Earth, and He called the waters around them Seas.
The ball was more pleasing to look at now, but it was still a little boring.
“It needs more color,” God said. “It needs to come to life!”
God touched the Earth with the tip of His finger, and the Earth began to shake. Seeds formed deep inside the Earth, leaves sprouting from them to climb towards the surface and beyond. Some of these leaves became blades of grass covering the land. Some of them became plants that grew beautiful flowers of different colors, their sweet smell filling the air. Others grew taller and taller until they became trees with strong trunks and long branches. These branches grew even more leaves, and some grew their own flowers, too, which bloomed and turned into fruits of different shapes and sizes. These fruits had seeds of their own inside, too, so that new trees could grow.
God looked at the forests and the meadows and He smiled. Now, finally, His creation looked like a work of art. “That’s more like it!”
And so day number three came to an end.
On the fourth day, God went back to His jar of light. He wanted to do something more with it.
“I want the light to bring out the beauty of the world I have made,” He said.
He made a big ball of light to shine upon the world during the Day, to rise on one side and set on the other. It was like a spotlight shining down on everything from Heaven, painting the sky in different colors and making the flowers look even brighter.
Then God made a smaller ball of light to take over during the Night, giving the trees and the surface of the Seas a soft, silver glow. He made it so that it would keep changing its shape, sometimes looking perfectly round, sometimes smiling, and sometimes looking like someone had taken a bite out of it. Sometimes, it was even barely there at all.
Because there wasn’t much light at Night, God also made smaller balls of flickering light like fairy lights across the dark sky. God placed some of them into groups, arranging the bright dots so that they could be connected to make pictures and tell stories. Then, He designed these groups of stars to take turns in the night sky so that they could not always be seen. In this way, the night sky would always look different, while the sky during the Day remained the same.
It was exactly how God liked it, and so He wrapped up the fourth day.
The next day, God looked once again at His masterpiece, trying to see what else He could add. It was colorful now, and it looked amazing, but there was still something missing.
“Maybe it needs more moving pieces,” God said.
So God touched the Seas, and out of the water, whales jumped out, each creating a big splash. There were dolphins, too, and flying fish. Under the water, even more fishes appeared - big ones with sharp fins and teeth, ones with eight legs or arms, and others that looked like jelly. There were also plenty of small fishes that swam in groups. Some fishes were too lazy to swim and stayed buried in the sand, while the shy ones hid among the plants. There were also fishes that looked like leaves and some that were covered in spikes. Deep underwater, where the light could not reach, some fishes gave off their own sparkling lights, making it look like they were the audience in a concert.
The Seas were now full of life, but what about the sky?
“Let creatures appear in the sky,” God said, and at once, the flapping of wings filled the air. Birds appeared, some huge and others small and fast. Some of them flew in groups, too, and made their own patterns in the sky, and some of them could sing and hold their own concert.
God was pleased. “Get along,” he told the creatures. “Make this world your home and fill it with life.”
This was the fifth day.
The next day, God turned His attention to the Earth. He touched the land, and animals appeared - tigers and monkeys in the forests, bears, wolves, and goats in the mountains, horses, deer, and rabbits racing across the meadows. Each animal was magnificent in its own way. Some were able to change colors. Others could produce different sounds. Some animals were experts at building their own homes.
God had fun watching these animals go about their day, and He thought, “It would be nice if there was someone to look after them.”
So God created humans - a man and a woman who looked just like Him. Like Him, they had eyes to see the beauty of the world, hands to make things, minds to think of how they could make their lives better, and hearts to care for all of God’s creation.
“I am putting you in charge of this world I have made,” God told them. “Take care of it and fill it with even more life.”
With that, the sixth day reached its end.
On the seventh day, God looked at everything He had made. Everything looked perfect, and He did not think there was anything left to add.
“It seems I am done with my work,” He said. “So now, I will rest.”
That is exactly what God did. After six days of creation, God put His head down and His feet up. It was a peaceful day, a blessed day, the perfect ending to the first seven days of how the world began.
The Floating Zoo
What do you do when it rains for weeks? Do you put on your boots and jump on puddles with the frogs? Do you stay inside and draw with your crayons or make a fort on your bed and camp with your toys? As for one man, he made a floating zoo - with God’s help, of course.
For hundreds of years, God’s creation filled the Earth. Babies were born, and they grew up to become mothers and fathers, having babies of their own. Families grew into clans and tribes, which settled in villages, towns, and cities. New animals were born, too. Baby birds, fishes, and platypuses called puggles hatched from eggs. The kangaroos had their joeys. The wolves and bats had their pups. The camels, elephants, and antelopes had their calves. New plants grew from the seeds inside fruits and flowers, sometimes with the help of humans.
Just as many plants in one place compete for sunlight and animals compete for food, the more humans there were, the less they got along.
The people started fighting - whether for food, for a place to sleep, for clothes, for jobs, or simple things like whose sheep ate whose grass or whose turn it was to bathe in the river. Some ended up stealing. Others did worse.
As people became cruel, the world began to suffer. Trees were cut down. Fields were burned. Animals were hurt or driven out of their homes, sometimes just for fun.
“The humans destroyed our nest today,” a female dove complained tearfully to her husband. “Now, I don’t know where to sleep or lay my eggs. I thought the humans were supposed to take care of us. Why do they keep doing bad things?”
“I don’t know,” the male dove answered. “But we’ll just have to stay away from them. Even if they don’t look after us, God will.”
God was keeping His eye on everything, and He felt sad and angry to see what had become of everything He had made. “Maybe it was a mistake to create humans,” He thought. “Because now, their minds and their hearts are full of evil, and they are destroying everything else I have made. If it was, then I have to make things right. I will make the world new and start all over again.”
God thought about how He would do this, and He decided He would use water.
