From “The Syntax of Creation” by John R Rosenberg

“Things that mater submit to the syntax of creation.  We grow day by day, line upon line, experience by experience.  Unreasonably, sometimes we seek Day Seven Privileges on Day One or Two, or we demand of ourselves expertise or excellence that more properly should be assigned to another day.  God could not put animals on the land until they had something to eat; he could not cultivate vegetation until there was dry land…what I find reassuring is what God did not do.  At the end of Day Five he did not say, “after all this work and all this time, all I have to show for my effort is fish.” What He did say was that “all things which I had created” up to that time “were good.” So it is with our education, our careers, and our relationships.  We may not be finished, but we can be acceptable - sufficient unto that day.”
