Genesis 1

1. I love how the first image that we get of God is him working. He's a man working to create Earth. I love how he separates the work out into different tasks, and builds upon each task until he gets to the most complicated parts of the creation.

2. I love how woman is his last creation. The world wasn't done until he created woman.

3. Once again, all of the grasses had seed; all of the trees yield fruit, and the first commandment that he gives Adam and Eve is to be fruitful and to multiply. I firmly believe that parenthood is the most important lesson that we learn while we are on earth. There is nothing that can prepare us to be like our Heavenly Father than to learn to love our children, as he love his.

4. We're given dominion over the Earth, and are commanded to subdue it. I think there are great lessons learned from working with the land. This is God's second commandment to men. Take care of the Earth, learn how to work the fields and take care of the animals, and also use them for your benefit.
