Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
Friday has come once more, and the question remains before us. Who is God? His word being a great place to start and the beginning of His word appearing logical to one such as me, we continue in Genesis 1. Today, God has already seen that His work is good six times, now we come to the end of the one chapter of the Creation and God sees that His work is very good. What can we learn from this? Looking up the Hebrew word used as 'good' here shows a word used in several English translations. Good is by far the most, but goodly, goodness, fair, well, better, best, and even merry are all used at places in the word of God. We use the context to see a person we know as God being happy with His work by His evaluation of it along the way. We can see that God enjoyed the process of creating and that it was a merry time, six times better and at the end the best. When was it the best? Just after man was in this new creation and given dominion.
And a very good time was had by all!
