Scripture lesson: Genesis 2:4b-7 The 2nd Creation Story
Time to reflect: With the 2nd half of verse 4, we get the creation told again, but from a different perspective and and different organizational principle. Whereas chapter one is very linear and orderly, moving from chaos to the most complex – humans – the 2nd story has the creation built around and for the humans. Both of these perspectives are important.
Moving Through The Day: What does it mean to you to speak of the universe being created “around and for humans?” What are the implications in how we live and how we relate to God?
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens- and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
