Let’s say you’re gonna write a book about what subject where you might be considered an expert. Or maybe you’re going to paint a work of art in a medium where everyone considers you the number one artist. In other words, you’ve got a project that you want to make as awesome as it can be. And you’ve got six days to get it done so you come up with your own six days of creation to-do list.
Now, you might start out with something like get supplies. And follow that up with set up your desk, or easel, or other work surface. Then you might follow that up with setting up your outline, or sketching a drawing. And the rest of the list would naturally follow your own ideas and what it would take to accomplish them.
OK, let’s compare that to what God might have had on his mind when he created the universe. It might have gone like this:
- Light bursting forth on Day 1.
- The sky and seas on Day 2.
- Dry land, bursting with grass, trees, and plants on Day 3.
- The sun, moon, and twinkling stars filling the heavens on Day 4.
- Birds soaring through the air and fish swimming the oceans on Day 5.
- On Day 6, land animals to roam the earth, and the formation of the first man and woman in His own image.
Yeah, when you read the creation account in the book of Genesis in the Bible, that’s pretty much how it went.
And that six days of creation list was completed for one main reason.
Simply because it pleased God to do it.
Now, the best you and I can do, in this broken, fallen world is to attempt to think and say God’s words after Him. And that’s what I attempted to do in a book I wrote, called the very first six days. I wrote the book in a way that’s easy enough for young kids to understand. Each day is its own poem, and all the poems are joined together to fill out the 6 days creation list in a rhyming and illustrated book for kids.
OK, there are two ways you could get this fun book for your kids or grandkids. Actually, there are kind of three ways to get this book. But the main two I’m talking about today are as a paperback that sells for $20 on Amazon. If that’s your style, here’s your link:
(https://www.amazon.com/Very-First-6-Days/dp/1515251330)
But if you don’t need or want or gotta have the paperback version, which includes drawing and coloring pages and a link where you can access the audio of me narrating the book, here’s another option.
Get it for no moolah at all.
The digital downloadable version is yours for the taking. All it takes is for you to go to tonyfunderburk.com and add your email address to Tony’s Daily Devotional. That’s the email devotional I send to my subscribers to hopefully encourage and inspire them/you to be hope-filled in a hopeless world. With words I share, inspired by the power of God’s love found in His book.
So, there you have it. There’s your choice. Because I believe America is still free enough for you and me to have at least these kinds of choices. You can pay $20 on Amazon for a very snazzy paperback version of The Very First 6 Days. Or you can let me know you want the free version, by adding your email address in the form on my homepage: tonyfunderburk.com And when you do that, I’ll send you some other free stuff too. Just because I wanna show you how much I appreciate your time and attention.
Now, exercise your right to choose. And I look forward to connecting with you. Oh yeah, if you’re already an email subscriber of mine, and you became one before I made this offer, let me know that you would like the digital version too. I’ll be glad to send it to you. Because you’ve already shown your support, and I want to show you how much I appreciate it. Here’s a sample from the book:
The Very First Day
Before there were created things, and darkness filled the air…
No world or human beings were existing anywhere.
Then God created earth and sea and all the heavens too.
There was no sun, no moon, no stars, and only God shone through.
He looked down at the waters and the dark face of the deep.
The earth was still and quiet just as we are when we sleep.
He said, “Let there be light” the way a perfect, true God could,
And then He saw the brand new light and knew that it was good.
Then God divided light and dark, and darkness He called Night.
The light would be called Day, and it was pleasing in His sight.
That evening and that morning wouldn’t be the total sum…
No, that was just the very first day…five were yet to come.
