Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good...27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them...31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
When God finished His creation, He sat back and said not only that it was good, but that it was very good. God had a picture in mind from the beginning, and seeing it all come together was very pleasing to Him. Having been created in His image, we should be able to get that. We love it when everything comes together. Of course, we cannot see the full picture as God does, but what we can see can be very good. In the verses in between those quoted above, we also see our responsibility in keeping things very good. We are to appreciate His creation, not depreciate it. May God help us to see what He has made as very good and keep it that way.
