Genesis 1:20-23 the fifth day

Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."

God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

Lord, Thank You for the beautiful creatures that You created to live on this earth with us.  Thank You for providing for us and for filling the earth.  Please help us to discern Your word and see Your character through it all.  Please reveal to us Your wisdom in the reading and help us to study for the right reasons.  Thank You for Your word and the people who made it possible for us to have a Bible in our hands freely in our own language.  You are good and YOur mercy endures forever.

In Jesus Name
Amen
