I love the Lord's Creation...It's so awesome!
I thought I'd write an account of Praise for Yeshua, by meditating solely on the third day of creation:
ט וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יִקָּווּ הַמַּיִם מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם אֶל-מָקוֹם אֶחָד, וְתֵרָאֶה, הַיַּבָּשָׁה; וַיְהִי-כֵן. 9 And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. י וַיִּקְרָא אֱלֹהִים לַיַּבָּשָׁה אֶרֶץ, וּלְמִקְוֵה הַמַּיִם קָרָא יַמִּים; וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים, כִּי-טוֹב. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good. יא וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, תַּדְשֵׁא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע, עֵץ פְּרִי עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי לְמִינוֹ, אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ-בוֹ עַל-הָאָרֶץ; וַיְהִי-כֵן. 11 And God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so. יב וַתּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע, לְמִינֵהוּ, וְעֵץ עֹשֶׂה-פְּרִי אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ-בוֹ, לְמִינֵהוּ; וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים, כִּי-טוֹב. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good. יג וַיְהִי-עֶרֶב וַיְהִי-בֹקֶר, יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי. {פ} 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
...and thinking about Yeshua's Life.
Hope you enjoy!!!

A Third Day Blessing
by Koilias
For the breaking of bread at the Feast of Shavuot. Inspired by the Didache and the hexaemeron of Origen.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, Creator of the Universe!
Who hovers in Your Wind upon the face of the waters,
Commanding them to stand as a heap,
So that the dry land appears.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, Creator of the Universe!
Who bids the earth to spring forth fresh grass,
And to flower herbs in the field,
Planting trees with fruit and seed in them
And all the green plants according to their kinds,
As food for Your living creatures.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
Who commands a strong wind upon the sea
To blow all night before the children of Israel
That their feet might tread across on dry land.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
Who gathers your people as one before the holy mountain,
Where you charge them with a fiery Law,
And rain down on them bread from above;
Mannah distilling with the dew on the fresh grass,
A food their fathers did not know about.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
Who delivers Your Son as the bread of life,
Laying His head upon a feeding trough,
As fodder for all His living creatures.
Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
Who hovers in Your Wind upon Your Son
When He comes up from the water in prayer,
Making His teaching drop as the rain,
And His speech distil as the dew,
Like droplets on the fresh grass,
And showers on the herb.
Blessed are You O King Messiah, Creator of the Universe!
Who gathers the multitudes by the seashore,
And bids them to repose upon the fresh grass,
Blessing the bread and teaching from the mountain
That their feet should seek Your kingdom.
Blessed are You O King Messiah, Creator of the Universe!
Who makes the dry land appear before Your disciples
After they rowed all night against a strong wind,
Teaching them on the shore about a bread from above,
A food they do not know about.
Blessed are you O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
You raise Him up as the first fruit of everlasting life,
Taking Him up from the mountain
To reign at Your right hand forever,
A fiery Law unto eternity.
Blessed are you O Lord our God, King of the Universe!
Who hovers in Your Wind upon His disciples
When they stand together in one place,
Writing Your Law upon their hearts,
And filling them with holy fire,
Until Your kingdom spreads upon the face of the earth.
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם Barukh Atah Adonai Eloheinu, Melekh haOlam!
The provider of bread from the earth.
'And as this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains,
But was brought together and became one,
So let Thy Church be gathered together
From the ends of the earth into Thy kingdom',
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever!
