The earth, man, and beast were created and made by God's great power in the six days of the creation week, after which He rested. This emphasizes that present processes of nature did not create or make anything, and God owns all things, entrusting them to us as stewards. We must be thankful, not covetous or slothful, in handling what God has given us.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Maker and Owner I have made the earth, the man, and the beasts that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Jeremiah 27, 5. The earth, the man, and the beast are the three entities that God is said to have created in the Genesis account of creation.
However, they are also said in Genesis to have been made, and that is the emphasis in our text above. Of course, both aspects were accomplished in the six days of the creation week, after which God rested from all his work which God created and made. This statement makes it abundantly plain that the present processes of nature did not create, call into existence out of nothing, or make. Build up into more complex forms, anything, as our modern theistic evolutionists and evangelical uniformitarians allege. God has rested from both of these works, except an occasional miraculous intervention in the present laws and processes of nature.
Because God created and made all things, He also owns all things. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. The Lord hath made all things for himself. Therefore all that we possess, as individuals or as nations, has simply been entrusted to us as God's stewards, and every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
without a doubt this accounting will be of our handling of our goods, minds, and opportunities among other things for it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. Let us be thankful, not covetous and industrious, not slothful, in everything He has entrusted to us. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
