God Said It was Very Good, by Sandy Egle

Genesis 1:27-31
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them...God saw all that he had made, and it was very good...

In today's world, man continually searches for his own significance and value. Most often we look to our vocation, education, financial status/stability, and relationships to define our value. Unfortunately, these measurements can change very quickly and beyond our control; relationships break, we become dissatisfied with or lose our job, we experience financial difficulties, and the list goes on and on.

If we seek to find our value as a person in those ways, our value constantly changes. It's like trying to weigh yourself by using a scale that measures pounds one day, meters the next, inches the next, seconds the next, and so on. With each of those measuring scales, our weight would appear to change.

But, what if we used an unchanging scale to determine our personal value? Scripture tells us that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. In Genesis one, the Bible tells us that God created man in His own image and that God saw all that He made and it was very good. The rest of His creation God said was good, but His creation of man was very good.
