Daily Devotional – Saturday, July 10, 2021
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31 (NKJV)
In Genesis 1, God would ‘congratulate’ himself at the end of every day. He would say, “It was good” (read vs. 4, 10, 12, 18, 21 and 25).
Then, on the sixth day, from the vantage point of the heaven, “…God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). Do you remember those exam papers the teacher would return to you, with a clear, ‘Very Good’ in red ink?
That is what the Almighty did. He took time to review His work for that week and was overjoyed. He gave Himself Grade ‘A’. I am sure heaven and the other unfallen planets celebrated with God. The newly created Adam and Eve were joyous, too.
As you come to the end of this week, how do you feel? Are you celebrating your achievements, however, small? Are you looking back with a smile and saying you did your best? Are you frustrated or angry because some of your plans did not succeed?
Look back at your achievements this week and thank God for them. Congratulate yourself for what you accomplished.
As for your failures, they were not disasters as such. They were lessons that made you a better person.
Next week is another opportunity to right your wrongs. You can improve on previous projects or embark on new ones.
For now, forget about any negative experiences, focus on the positive ones, and say joyously with Your Creator and Father, concerning this week, “It was very good.”
Father, thank you for the week that is ending. It was very good.
How was your week? How has God led you through the week? Let other readers know through your comments.
Thankyou Lord for the ending week. I feel grateful for whatever you have helped me archive.

Wooow such a powerful way to end the week, ,by celebrating the small wins which at times we overlook as not important at all.
True. Sometimes we dwell too much on what went wrong and fail to focus on the overall picture. Thanks, Brian.
It was very Good……Amen
Amen, Duke
