Genesis 1: 14 Then God said, “Let
there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and
years; 15 and let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then
God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars
also. 17 God set them in the firmament of
the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So
the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
============
Instead of random
events, GOD made everything with a purpose. On the first day, HE made light. Now
on the fourth day, HE took a piece of light and made the sun. HE also made its
qualities reflective off of the moon. HE took more pieces of light and made stars.
Each star was hung in a specific place and could only be seen at certain times
of the year.
My Observations:
- GOD made years and seasons specifically for humans.
- GOD made light to “rule” over darkness.
- GOD demonstrated the creative process by breaking up light into many purposes.
I am quite amazed
that every star, every galaxy, every light that can be seen was made
specifically to shine on the place GOD made for humans. This is a very loving action
from GOD. HE set the stars in the heavens, or outer space, for the enjoyment of
humans, yet to be created.
I can also see that
GOD delights in the creative process. HE took light and made stars, reflection,
refraction, color, energy, healing and warmth. HE did this all for you and me.
Challenge
- Why do you think GOD gives this level of detail to Moses about light and darkness?
- What areas of your life do you think are hidden?
- Are you willing to surrender hidden things to GOD so HIS light will heal you and shine through you today?
