Response: I often miss this point of view when we get to the Genesis creation stories. It always seems like, before the Seven Days, there is not order but chaos. How does perspective change when, instead of God coming and fixing up a mess, He has an order already established and changes it to create us?
Jonathan Colton has a song he wrote for his daughter. He admits that his life seemed put together before she was born; that change was necessary from the life that he had before that and now with her; and that it's impossible to go back, but he doesn't really want to. "You ruined everything, in the nicest way."
Lord, we really did ruin everything. You chose to remake the order to make and fellowship with us. Thank You for this sacrifice among others. Help me to appreciate and emulate.
