Gen 1:31 | MHM | STEP | Genesis 1:31: God Reviews and Completes Creation This verse brings the story of creation to its end. God looks over everything He has made and sees that it is not just good, but very good. This is the final approval of all creation. God’s work is perfect and complete. He finishes what He begins. We see here God's careful review and His satisfaction with His creation. This verse also encourages us to reflect on our own work and on God's greatness. v. 31 : God saw every thing that He had made, and “behold, it was very good.” God always watches over His creation. He sees everything, including us (Psalm 139:1-16 ). God’s wisdom knows all His works (Acts 15:18 ). We should learn from God’s example to review our own lives and actions regularly (Jeremiah 2:23; Psalm 119:59 ). God took pleasure in His work. When He saw all He had made, everything was perfect. Unlike us, who often see faults in our work, God’s creation was flawless. Each part of creation was good, and together, everything was very good. Man, made in God's image, was the most special part. The beauty and harmony of creation are best seen when everything is finished (Zechariah 4:7 ). We should also wait until God’s work is complete before making judgments. The sixth day ended with evening and morning. God made the world in six days, though He could have made it all at once (1 Corinthians 15:52 ). God chose to work in six days to teach us about working and resting. This is the basis for the Sabbath, the day of rest. As God reviewed His creation, we should also review our thoughts and praise God for all He has done. Let us worship the Creator, as the Bible commands us (Revelation 14:6,7 ), and bless the Lord with all our hearts.

v. 31: God saw every thing that He had made, and “behold, it was very good.” God always watches over His creation. He sees everything, including us (Psalm 139:1-16 ^a). God’s wisdom knows all His works (Acts 15:18 ^b). We should learn from God’s example to review our own lives and actions regularly (Jeremiah 2:23; Psalm 119:59 ^c).

God took pleasure in His work. When He saw all He had made, everything was perfect. Unlike us, who often see faults in our work, God’s creation was flawless. Each part of creation was good, and together, everything was very good. Man, made in God's image, was the most special part. The beauty and harmony of creation are best seen when everything is finished (Zechariah 4:7 ^d). We should also wait until God’s work is complete before making judgments.

The sixth day ended with evening and morning. God made the world in six days, though He could have made it all at once (1 Corinthians 15:52 ^e). God chose to work in six days to teach us about working and resting. This is the basis for the Sabbath, the day of rest.
