Creation - A Step by Step Process

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31)

The above verse tells us that the Lord concluded the six days of creation. It is interesting to note the order of creation. Man was the last to be created. This process was a step-by-step procedure of preparing this planet as a testing place for men. Man was not created until the groundwork had been laid. Adam could not have been placed on this earth and survived until each of the essential components were in place.

So it is in preparing for eternity. It is a step-by-step, day-by-day, process. I think we often try to do too much, or we worry about all that needs to be done. Our preparation for eternity is done incrementally, line upon line. We must take each step along the way and gain mastery before we try to move further along. Otherwise we will thwart the end result of that which we want to achieve.
