It Was Very Good…
“And God saw everything that He made and behold, it was very good.”- Genesis 1: 31a (ESV)
Genesis chapter 1 shows the beginning of creation where God made the heavens and earth out of darkness and void. I’m just amazed that in six days, He managed to put light out of the dark, established the universe and brought life on earth. I noticed that every after the day that He created, He saw that it was good. And at the end of the creation, everything went very good.
Applying it in my life today, I just find myself as being disorganized with my time. I lack orderliness with the way I think in which things must be done first (i.e: home works and projects). I like cramming and last-minutes. I hate being pressured but I have to be pressured first so that I could think clearly and work seriously. I go haywire when the day of submission will be tomorrow and I’m not even in the midway of my task yet. Although my outputs are good enough and at least meet the deadlines, sometimes I could not help myself but get frustrated too as I meet failures. I’m trying to change myself but it has been hard for me since playing-now-work-later is part of my personality.
How I wish that I am as organized as God. Well, I can be if I really wanted to be. As the bible says that ¹man was made in His image and likeness, so I could also say that I could be like Him who does things well and puts them in order. I don’t have to stress out myself, thinking of the what’s and how’s. Anyway, the Lord did not freak out when He ²separated the water from the land, ³put vegetation on earth, 4created human beings, and things like that. Those are way more too difficult to do rather than finishing my research paper in Sociology, speeches in Public Speaking, home works in Library 101 and all other daily works of mine. If I worry a lot, maybe now is the time to re-check the status of of my faith. 5 In each day, there is enough trouble for me. Besides, 6 He is always there who carries my burdens and helps me complete my tasks successfully.
Everyday, my greatest rival is myself—my procrastination, my laziness and lot of my unnecessary emotions. I’m just very grateful that even though these things try to destroy my concentration of a good success, the Word of God pulls me towards Him again and fills my mind with beautiful visions of tomorrow.
After I created my day, I hope I could sit back and relax and say just like God in the beginning that everything was very good!
