The Sixth Day of Christmas

Six Geese A-Laying.

Six eggs.  Six days of creation.

Geese are messy and so, I presume, is the act of creation.

I know was a self-identified artist I can make a pretty big mess sometimes.  Often with questionable results.

Whether they were six actual days, or six-thousdand days, God created the universe, our earth, and yes, us, in the span of six days.

Personally, I can’t look at a sunrise or sunset, or so many other things and not see the hand of the creator.

I think it’s more than a bit silly to just believe if sort of poofed into existence over billions of years.

There’s nothing random about God’s creation.

I’ll be posting a different version of the song each day for the next twelve days. No need to thank me.

 


 

The Fifth Day of Christmas

Five. Golden. Rings.

You sang that, didn’t you?

The five golden rings remind us of the first five books of the Old Testament, also known as the Pentateuch or the Torah.

The first five books chronologically cover more time than the remainder of the Scripture combined. They cover the creation of the world, the enslavement and deliverance of the people of Israel, and the foundation for the law. As such, they are the foundation for the rest of Scripture.

In these books we find the origin of mankind and our fall from grace. But we also find the beginnings of God’s redemptive plan, fulfilled in the coming of His son, Jesus.

That’s some very precious gold indeed.
