Genesis 1:31 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. I. Why was it very good? 1. It was the offspring of infinite wisdom and power and love. 2. Because guided into existence by Jesus. 3. Because there was no evil in it. 4. Because it was like God. II. WHAT was very good? Everything which He had made. III. How are they very good? In themselves — in their purposes — in their arrangements. IV. IS EVERYTHING VERY GOOD STILL? God is fetching very good things out of the apparent frustration of His plan. He is restoring what is now very bad to be very good. (J. Bolton.)
