Let there be light...
As you watch this video, you can hear scripture being read in the background ....
Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
An astronaut reading from his place on the moon....at the time it seemed so fitting. Not sure we could do that anymore without someone protesting...I remember when he read these words ....It was sobering that he was way out in space and felt the need to read scripture to all the universe...God was indeed there as close with him as He was here with us earthbound..that Presence who goes where we go and lives in those who believe...never leaving or forsaking...
The creator of light...and we are to be light in this world while we are here...
Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
Psalm 104:1-3, 19 Praise the Lord, my soul.Lord my God, you are very great;you are clothed with splendor and majesty. The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariotand rides on the wings of the wind.
He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Thank YOU for giving light to your world, your Word..help me to reflect that light to those around me....
