  Speaker 1: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm James Seawood. Get comfortable and hear how it was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. Your loving God, existing for all eternity,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: made everything from nothing by his word, and it was good.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So let go of your worries. At the command of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: God's voice, the sun and the earth formed, plants and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: animals came alive. God is in control of your life,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and God is good. Now close your eyes softly and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath. Get cozy and let your whole
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: body relax. Let your surroundings fade away as you imagine
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: yourself watching the beginning of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: how wonderful are your works. The heavens declare your glory,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Even the rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: your very breath, your very word, all things came to be.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: How beautiful you are, my God and my Savior. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: ask for your prayer, your peace, and your perfect rest
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: tonight in Jesus's Holy name. Amen. Imagine you are there
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. You float in the nothingness that surrounds you.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yet even in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: has authority over everything in the entire universe. He is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: there as the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Son, is there too. He is equal with the Father,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: yet he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the universe, over the formless elements of the earth, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: over the waters, is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and peace are endless and eternal. As God hovers over
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you tonight, you sense his love and his peace deeper
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: than ever before. There is darkness all around you, but
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you are secure in the presence of God. As you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: await his glorious creation, you anticipate his voice that by
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: his word all things will be set into motion. You
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: are completely comfortable and at ease. You feel as though
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you are floating through the nothingness. Yet you are completely
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: secure in the arms of the Father. You are safe
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in the company of Jesus, and you are cradled in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the presence of the Spirit. Let God cradle you in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: his arms, lulling you into deep and RESTful sleep. To night,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: as I tell you the story of creation by God's word.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You hear God's voice, soft and still, yet commanding and holy.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Let there be light. Then you see light, perfect light
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: surround you. There is now a difference between night and day.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Even though there is no sun, nor moon, nor stars.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: God has miraculously divided light and darkness. How is this possible?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You are in awe of God, Jesus, the light of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the world. And the first day of Creation comes to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a close. God speaks again, Let there be a space
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: from the waters of the earth. A vast expanse divides
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the waters, and God calls it the sky. You breathe
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: deeply of the life giving oxygen God has created out
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of nothing. It is the purest air you've ever breathed.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: In and out you breathe. The sound of water hovering
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in the canopy above and flowing below like a soft current,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: soothes your soul. As the second day of Creation comes
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to a close, God declares that it is good. It
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is good. It is good again. You hear the Lord speak.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so dry ground may appear you see the water gather
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and move into their places. What a wondrous sight of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: God gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the waters he calls sees. He is giving names to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: You feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The fragrance is breath taking you inhale, then exhale, smelling
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the sweet foods that God has made for you. It
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: tastes better than anything you have ever eaten. Wholesome and filling,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: complete and satisfying, and at the close of the third day,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: God says, it is good. Yes, it is good. Then
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begins shining in the night sky one
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The moon is set in play,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: set God's command a sphere to reflect the brilliance of
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: comes to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: other side is lit by the moon, and the stars
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you picture the stars of heaven, too numerous to count.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is watching over you to night. As you rest under
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the stars. You hear the word of the Lord, saying,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the heavens. As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: fish and sea creatures of every kind. You see a
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: limitless variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then at God's life in command,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the skies filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: They are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: part of creation is left the most important part of
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: all God's master pieces. People, the Father, Son, and Holy
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Spirit declare that they will make people in their own image,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in the image of God. He will create them from
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the dust of the earth, a man is formed from
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of God. Then from the reb of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Allow yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: from his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: fellowship you have with your creator. Walk with him. As
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the sixth and final day of creation is complete, you
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: look around and see that it is good, very very good.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank you for
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: creating me in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I ask for perfect peace and rest. To night. Help
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless stars
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that you have called by name, and help them to awaken,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: renewed and refreshed in the morning. And Jesus holy Name,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The sovereign Creator
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: knows you by name and has fashioned for his glory,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to the sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present. The Father,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father. He has
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: authority over everything in the entire universe. He is there
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: as the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Son is there too. He is equal with the Father,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: yet he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the universe, over the formless elements of the earth, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: over the waters, is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and peace are endless and eternal. As God hovers over
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you tonight, you sense his love and his peace deeper
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: than ever before. There is darkness all around you, but
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you are secure. You are in the presence of God.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: As you await his glorious creation, you anticipate his voice
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that by his word all things will be set into motion.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You are completely comfortable and at ease. You feel as
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: though you are floating through the nothingness. Yet you are
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: completely secure in the arms of the Father. You are
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: safe in the company of Jesus, and you are cradled
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the Spirit. Let God cradle you
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in his arms, lulling you into deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: as I tell you the story of creation by God's word,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you hear God's voice soft and till, yet commanding and holy.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Let there be light. Then you see light, perfect light
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: surround you. There is now a difference between night and day.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Even though there is no sun, nor moon, nor stars.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: God has miraculously divided light and darkness. How is this possible?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You are in awe of God, Jesus, the light of
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the world, and the first day of Creation comes to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a close. God speaks again, Let there be a space
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens

  Speaker 1: comes to a close, God declares that it is good.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: It is good. It is good again. You hear the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Lord speak, Let the waters beneath the sky float together
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: into one place, so dry ground may appear. You see
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the water gather and move into their places. What a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: wondrous sight of God gathering the waters, moving them wherever
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he pleases. The Lord gives the dry land name Earth,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and the waters he calls seeds. He is giving names
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is

  Speaker 1: The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the

  Speaker 1: Stars begin shining in the night sky one by one,

  Speaker 1: them by name. The moon is set in place, at

  Speaker 1: sixth and final day of creation is complete, you look
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: around and see that it is good, very very good.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Receive this prayer of blessing, Sovereign God, Thank you for
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: creating me in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

  Speaker 1: I ask for perfect peace and rest to night. Help

  Speaker 1: I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The sovereign Creator
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: knows you by name and has fashioned for his glory,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to the sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present, the Father,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: over everything in the entire universe. He is there as
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus the Son
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: is there too. He is equal with the Father, yet
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of the universe,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: over the homeless elements of the earth, and over the waters,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: are endless and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you sense his love and his peace deeper than ever before.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: There is darkness all around you, but you are secure
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Then you see light, perfect light surround you. There is
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: And the first day of Creation comes to a close,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: of the Earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: is the purest air you've ever breathed in and out
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the canopy
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes your soul.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And as the second day of Creation comes to a close,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: God declares that it is good. It is good. It
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: is good. Again. You hear the Lord speak. Let the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: waters beneath the sky float together into one place, so
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: dry ground may appear. You see the water gather and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: move into their places. What a wondrous sight of God
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: waters he calls sees. He is giving names to his
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it. You
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil isrul
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: receive the seeds of living things. You can smell the
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and trees
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: sweet foods that God has made for you. It tastes
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: better than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: God says it is good. Yes, it is good. Then
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the night before your very eyes. God creates lights in
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The Moon is set in place,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: comes to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: other side is lit by the Moon, and the stars
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of Heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: No without a doubt that the creator of the universe
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the skies filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: They are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: part of creation is left, the most important part of
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: all God's masterpieces, people. The Father and Holy Spirit declare
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that they will make people in their own image, in
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the image of God. He will create them from the
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: dust of the earth. A man is formed from head
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made in
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the likeness of God. Then from the rib of the man,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him, a companion
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to love and to cherish. God blesses them and tells
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind, provides
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: for them, nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow yourself
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from his hand,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship you have
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: with your creator. Walk with him. As the sixth and
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: final day of creation is complete, you look around and
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: see that it is good, very very good. Receive this
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank you for creating me
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: ask for perfect peace and rest to night. Help your
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless stars that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you have called by Nay, and help them to awaken
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and renewed and refreshed in the morning. And Jesus's holy name.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I pray, Amen. Now sleep in peace. The sovereign Creator
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: knows you by name and has fashioned for his glory,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to the Sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present, the Father,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: over everything in the entire universe. He is the as
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus the Son
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: is there too. He is equal with the Father, yet
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of the universe,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: over the formless elements of the earth, and over the waters,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: are endless and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: you sense his love and his peace deeper than ever before.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: There is darkness all around you, but you are secure
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: You anticipate his voice that by his word all things
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: at ease. You feel as though You are floating through
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into

  Speaker 1: is good again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the

  Speaker 1: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world

  Speaker 1: speaks again, Let there be a space between the waters,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: of the Earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and

  Speaker 1: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: is the purest air you've ever breathed. In and out

  Speaker 1: you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the canopy
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes your soul.

  Speaker 1: And as the second day of Creation comes to a close,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: God declares that it is good. It is good. It
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: is good. Again, you hear the Lord speak, Let the

  Speaker 1: waters beneath the sky float together into one place, so
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: dry ground may appear. You see the water gather and
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: move into their places. What a wondrous sight of God
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The

  Speaker 1: Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and the

• 56:53
  Speaker 1: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: to receive thes of living things. You can smell the
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and trees
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: sweet foods that God has made for you. It tastes
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: better than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: God says it is good, Yes, it is good. Then
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The moon is set in
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: place at God's command a sphere to reflect the brilliance
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: of the sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: comes to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: other side is lit by the Moon, and the stars
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: of Heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: is watching over you to night. As you rest under
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the stars, you hear the word of the Lord, saying,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the heavens. As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: the skies filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, humming birds,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever image.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: They are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: part of creation is left, the most important part of
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: all God's masterpieces, people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: declare that they will make people in their own image,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: in the image of God. He will create them from
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: the dust of the earth, a man is formed from
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of God. Then from the reb of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God God. Eat
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: from his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: fellowship you have with your Creator. Walk with him. As
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: the sixth and final day of creation is complete, you
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: look around and see that it is good, very very good.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank you for
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: creating me in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight. Help your
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless stars that
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: you have called by name, and help them to awaken,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: renewed and refreshed in the morning. And Jesus Holy Name,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I pray. Amen. Now sleep in peace. The sovereign Creator
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: knows you by name and has fashioned for his glory,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: to the sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present, the Father,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: over everything in the entire universe. He is there as
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus the Son,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: is there too. He is equal with the Father, yet
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of the universe,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: over the formless elements of the earth, and over the waters,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: are endless and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: you sense his love and his peace deeper than ever before.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: There is darkness all around you, but you are secure
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: You anticipate his voice that by his word all things
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Then you see light, perfect light around you. There is
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: And the first day of Creation comes to a close,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: is the purest air you've ever breathed in and out
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the canopy
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes your soul.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: And as the second day of Creation comes to a close,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: God declares that it is good. It is good. It
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: is good. Again. You hear the Lord speak. Let the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: waters beneath the sky float together into one place, so
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: dry ground may appear. You see the water gather and
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: move into their places. What a wondrous sight of God
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Lord gives the dry land name Earth, and the waters
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: calls seeds. He is giving names to his glorious creation,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: and you are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: to be part of such a marvelous sight. You reach
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: down to feel the earth. The soil is cool to
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: the seeds of living things. You can smell the scent
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential for life.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Then God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: up from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes. Reach
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet foods
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: that God has made for you. It tastes better than
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: And at the close of the third day, God says
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: it is good, Yes, it is good. Then you hear
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord say, let there be lights in the expanse
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: of the heavens to separate the day from the night.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Before your very eyes, God creates lights in the heavens.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: Stars begins shining in the night sky, one by one,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: and you realize in amazement that God knows each of
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: them by name. The Moon is set in place at
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance of the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Sun and be a light to govern the night. Then
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth. It
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: gives light and warmth to every living thing that thrives
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: on the planet. You feel the warmth of its rays
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: on your face. As the fourth day of Creation comes
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun is
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: shining on one side of the Earth, while the other
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: side is lit by the Moon, and the stars of
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea. Allow
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as you
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count, know
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: without a doubt that the creator of the universe is
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: watching over you. To night. As you rest under the stars,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.

  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instrugs the

  Speaker 1: stars that you have called by name, and help them

  Speaker 1: listen again to the sleep story. Imagine you are there
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. You float in nothingness that surrounds you.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Yet even in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present,

  Speaker 1: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: has authority over everything in the entire universe. He is

  Speaker 1: the universe, over the formless elements of the earth, and
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: over the waters, is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy,

  Speaker 1: and peace are endless and eternal. As God hovers over
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: you tonight, you sense his love and his peace deeper
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: than ever before. There is darkness all around you, but
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: you are secure in the presence of God. As you

  Speaker 1: await his glorious creation, you anticipate his voice that by
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: his word all things will be set into motion. You

  Speaker 1: are completely comfortable and at ease. You feel as though

  Speaker 1: Let there be light. Then you see light, perfect light

  Speaker 1: surround you. There is now a difference between night and day.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Even though there is no sun, nor moon, nor stars.

  Speaker 1: God has miraculously divided light and darkness. How is this possible?
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: You are in awe of God, Jesus, the light of
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: the world, and the first day of Creation comes to
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: a close. God speaks again. Let there be a space
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: from the waters of the earth. A vast expanse divides

  Speaker 1: Lord speak, Let the waters beneath the sky float together
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: into one place, so dry ground may appear. You see
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: the water gather and move into their places. What a
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and moving them
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: and the waters he calls seas. He is giving names
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: to his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: You feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: the scent of the freshly watered sence, flourishing with the

  Speaker 1: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and

  Speaker 1: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.

  Speaker 1: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your

  Speaker 1: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: God says, it is good, Yes, it is good. Then
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The moon is set in
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: place at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: of the sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Then the sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the It
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: gives light and warmth to every living thing, that thrives
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: on the planet. You feel the warmth of its rays
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: on your face. As the fourth day of Creation comes
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: to a close, you are imperfect peace. The sun is
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: shining on one side of the Earth, while the other
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: side is lit by the moon, and the stars of
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea. Allow
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as you
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count. Know
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: without a doubt that the creator of the universe is
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: you hear the word of the Lore saying, let the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the sky is filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: they are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: part of creation is left, the most important part of
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: all God's masterpieces, people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: declare that they will make people in their own image,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: in the image of God. He will create them and
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the dust of the earth. A man is formed from
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of God. Then from the rib of
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: a companion to love and to cherish. God blesses them
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: and tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: fill the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: provides for them, nurtures them and walks with them. Allow
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: you have with your Creator. Walk with him. As the
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: sixth and final day of creation is complete, you look
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: around and see that it is good, very very good.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank you for
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: creating me in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight. Help your
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless stars that
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: you have called by name, and help them to awaken,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: renewed and refreshed in the morning. And Jesus's holy name,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: I pray Amen Now in peace. The sovereign Creator knows
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: you by name and has fashioned for his glory, created
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus by his word. Get comfortable and hear
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: how it was in the beginning. Your loving God, existing
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: for all eternity, made everything from nothing by his word,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: and it was good. So let go of your worries.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: At the command of God's voice, the sun and the
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: earth formed, plants and animals came alive. God is in
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: control of your life. And God is good. Now close
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: your eyes softly and take a deep breath. Get cozy
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: and let your whole body relax. Let your surroundings fade
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning of God's
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful are your works.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: The heavens declare your glory. Even the rocks and trees
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: cry out your goodness. By your very breath, your very word,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: all things came to be. How beautiful you are, my
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: God and my Savior. I ask for your presence, your peace,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: and your perfect rest tonight in Jesus's holy name. Amen.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Imagine you are there in the beginning. You float in
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: elements of the earth, and over the waters is the
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: and you are the presence of the Spirit. Let God
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: cradle you in his arms, lulling you into deep and
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the story of
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: creation by God's word, you hear God's voice, soft and still,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: yet commanding and holy. Let there be light. Then you
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: see light, perfect light surround you. There is now a
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: difference between night and day. Even though there is no sun,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously divided light and darkness.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: How is this possible? You are in awe of God, Jesus,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: the light of the world, and the first day of
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: Creation comes to a close, God speaks again, Let there
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: be a space between the waters, to separate the waters
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: of the heavens from the waters of the Earth. A
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: vast expanse divides the waters, and God calls it the sky.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: You breathe deeply of the life giving oxygen God has
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: created out of nothing. It is the purest air you've
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: ever breathed. In and out you breathe. The sound of
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: water hovering in the canopy above and flowing below like
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: a soft current, soothes your soul. And as the second
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: day of Creation comes to a close, God declares that
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: it is good. It is good, It is good again.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: You see the water gather and move into their places.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: What a wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: land a name, Earth, and the waters he calls sees.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: He is giving names to his glorious creation, and you
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed to be
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: part of such a marvelous sight. You reach down to
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: feel the earth. The soil is cool to the touch.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive the seeds
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: of living things. You can smell the scent of the
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential for life. Then
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring up
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes. Reach
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: is breath taking you inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: foods that God has made for you. It tastes better
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling, complete
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: God says it is good, Yes, it is good. Then
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The moon is set in
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: place at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: of the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: comes to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: other side is lit by the Moon, and the stars
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: of Heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: is watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out the
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: the skies filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: They are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One

  Speaker 1: part of creation is left, the most important part of

• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: in the image of God. He will create them from
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: the dust of the earth. A man is formed from
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of God. Then from the rib of
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and

  Speaker 1: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over

  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: to the sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you, Yet even
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present, the Father,

• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: is there too. He is equal with the Father, yet
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is the
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of the universe,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: over the formless elements of the earth, and over the waters,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: are endless and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: you sense his love and his peace deeper than ever before.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: There is darkness all around you, but you are secure

  Speaker 1: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the

  Speaker 1: story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: Then you see light, perfect light, surround you. There is

  Speaker 1: now a difference between night and day. Even though there

• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: And the first day of Creation comes to a close,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,

• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: God declares that it is good. It is good. It
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: is good again. You hear the Lord speak. Let the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: dry ground may appear. You see the water gather and
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: move into their places. What a wondrous sight of God
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and the

  Speaker 1: waters he calls seas. He is giving names to his
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it. You

  Speaker 1: feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.

  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is

  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: each of them by name. The Moon is set in
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: place at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: of the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: comes to a close, you are imperfect peace. The Sun
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: other side is lit by the Moon, and the stars
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: of heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
• 1:51:11

  Speaker 1: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count,

• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: is watching over you tonight, as you rest under the stars,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: the skies filled with birds. They are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: They are singing to the God of the universe, praising
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: him for creating them in his glory. Listen to the
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: sweet sound, the sound of creation. The Lord instrugs the
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: fish of the sea and the birds of the air
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: part of creation is left, The most important part of
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: all God's masterpieces people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: declare that they will make people in their own image,
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: in the image of God. He will create them. From
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: the dust of the earth, a man is formed from
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of God. Then from the reb of
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: you have with your Creator. Walk with him. As the
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: sixth and final day of creation is complete, you look
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: around and see that it is good, very very good.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: Receive this prayer of blessing, Sovereign God, Thank you for
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: creating me in your image. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: I ask for perfect peace and rest to night. Help
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: your child. Sleep deeply under the stars, the countless stars
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: that you have called by name, and help them to awaken,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: renewed and refreshed in the morning. And Jesus holy Name,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The sovereign Creator
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: knows you by name and has fashioned for his glory,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: created in Christ Jesus by his word. Let's listen again
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: to the sleep story. Imagine you are there in the beginning.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: You float in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: in the nothingness, the fullness of God is present, the Father,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: over everything in the entire universe. He is there as
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: the orchestrator and director of all things. Jesus the Son
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: is there too. He is equal with the Father, yet
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: he does nothing without the Father's direction. Jesus is the
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Word from the beginning. Hovering over the vastness of the universe,
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: over the formless elements of the earth, and over the waters,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy and peace
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: are endless and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: you sense his love and his peace deeper than ever before.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: There is darkness all around you, but you are secure
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into deep
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the story
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice, soft
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: Then you see light, perfect light surround you. There is
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: and the first day of Creation comes to a close.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: God speaks again, Let there be a space between the waters,
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: is the purest air you've ever breathed. In and out
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the canopy
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes your soul.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: And as the second day of Creation comes to a close,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: God declares that it is good. It is good. It
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: is good again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: waters beneath the sky float together into one place, so
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: dry ground may appear. You see the water gather and
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: move into their places. What a wondrous sight of God
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and the
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: waters he calls sees. He is giving names to his
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it. You
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: feel blessed to be part of such a marvelous sight.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: The fragrance is breath taking you inhale, then exhale, smelling
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: the sweet foods that God has made for you. It
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: tastes better than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: God says, it is good, Yes, it is good. Then
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
• 2:02:30
