Substance
Consider the work of God.
Consider is translated from the Hebrew term rā’â, usually rendered see. In the Genesis 1 creation account, rā’â appears in a repeated refrain summing up God’s view of each day’s work: “God saw [rā’â] that it was good” (vv. 4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31).
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; . . . For in him we live, and move, and have our being.
