 BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE
God takes care of His creation
Genesis 1:20-21
20 And God said, Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds
fly above the earth across the vault of the sky. 21 So God created the
great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water
teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every
winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
To reinforce this verse students have to illustrate a couple of animals on
their notebooks with the presence of God at the center, then they watch
the following video and I will explain to them more about it.
