Genesis 1:14-19
Sun and Moon Lights
14 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, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 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. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
God created the sun and the moon...He put the lights in the sky to separate the day from the night...The sun and moon would also serve as signs to mark the sacred times and help us keep track of time...We will know the times and days and years by the these lights...The sun comes up every twenty four hours...This is one timer God gave us...The greater light, the sun, will govern the day, and the lesser light, the moon, will govern the night...God also created the stars...God set the lights in the sky to give light to the earth...These lights will govern both the day and night...The day and night will separate the light from darkness, and day from night...God did all these things on the fourth day...
The sun and the moon are the proper distances from earth or we would experience wild and devastating temperature variations...Both the moon and sun are only two variables in God's creation to make it ideal for man to live on the earth...
To imagine God created the heavens and earth is difficult...We have a limited amount of knowledge...God has an unlimited amount of knowledge...God created the sun, moon, air, the earth, and all things...Sometimes we don't even realize we are on earth, but it exists...We walk on it everyday...We forget about the air, but it is there, we are breathing it...The sun, the moon, the earth, the air, are all needed for our survival, if we are going to live on earth...God created all these things...He created and made earth so we could live on it...He fine tuned the earth...Why and how man can live on this planet, and no other requires an explanation...C. S. Lewis said he believes in Jesus and Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else....By believing in God we have a reason and purpose why the earth, the heavens, were created...Believing in God helps us explain how and why these things in science work...
Thank God for the beautiful sunny days, that are full of Light...
