SCRIPTURE

"And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." — Genesis 1:31 (ASV)

When we come to think about our works, we find, to our shame, that much has been very bad; but when God saw his work, all was very good. Good, for it was all just as the Creator would have it to be. All his works, in all places of his dominion, bless him; and therefore, bless the Lord, O my soul.

Let us bless God for the gospel of Christ, and when we consider his almighty power, let us sinners flee from the wrath to come.

If newly created in the image of God in holiness, we shall eventually enter the new heavens and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
