Genesis 2 begins by declaring that God’s work of creation was complete. The heavens, the earth, and “all the host of them” were finished. Nothing was lacking. Nothing needed to be improved. God did not create a half-finished world that slowly became what He intended it to be. He created it fully, wisely, and perfectly according to His will.
The phrase “all the host of them” includes everything God had made in the heavens and the earth. The stars, the planets, the creatures of the sea, the birds of the air, the animals of the land, the plants, the trees, and mankind - all of it came from the hand of God.
This verse reminds us that creation was not an accident, and it was not a process outside of God’s control. God finished what He started. That is true in creation, and it is also true in the life of the believer. The God who finished His work in creation is the same God who finishes His work in us.
Philippians 1:6 says, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
