Light without a Source

Not to worry, I am not going to rant about each verse through the entire Bible!  However, we pick up in verse 14 of Genesis 1 with the creation of the lights in the sky.  Now, don't forget that light has already been created as well as separation of light and darkness and declared evening and morning or day and night.  So we have light without a source of light which I find interesting.  So now on the fourth day we have the creation of the lights in "expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark the seasons and days and years, and let them be light in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth."  I will preface my next set of statements by saying that I believe in worshipping the one true God and am so grateful for the saving grace and the power in the blood of Jesus Christ and love the guidance of the Holy Spirit in my life.  I find it interesting how so often we can sit back and point fingers at other "groups" who are different from us in their beliefs but here I see it written in black and white that the stars, moon and sun were to mark the seasons, days and years so it is with admiration I look at the native Americans and Chinese and others who have looked at their lives by these governing lights.  I don't agree that they should be worshipped as powers or spirits or what have you but I do see where the focus comes from.  After all, they were created to "govern" the day and the night which would give the allusion of almost a sort of power of their own.  So again we see there was evening and there was morning the fourth day and God saw that it was good!
Quite a handful created on the fourth day!  God almost seems to be increasing in his projects as the days progress.  Here on the fifth day there is a spoken word to create living creatures in the water and in the air.  That's alot of creatures!  Think of the plethra of beings that live in the water alone and even those we have yet to discover and most assuredly the ones we most certainly will never see which allows Gods creation to remain mysterious and unexplainable on some levels just as God Himself is!  vs. 21 "So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems," (note the reference here specifically of living AND moving which would include amoebes, etc) according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.  And God saw that it was good."

Can you just see God sitting there and speaking the stars, sun and moon into creation and having this great mass of "lights" in front of him and then He just starts picking them up one by one and placing them in their permanent space in space!  First the sun and then the moon and then carefully placing each star.  Is that how it happened or did he grab a handful of stars and just throw them with all his might out into the atmosphere?  It will be fun to find out one day!  The power of God's spoken word is just amazing to me as He can just speak into being the creatures that all live in the water and the air and the plants, lights, land, etc.  Why do we forget how much He loves us?  Yes, we are tested and tried daily but He l oves us just the same.  "Every good and perfect gift is from above."  No matter who the good gift is given to, saved or unsaved, it all comes from God.  Satan is not capable of anything but pain, agony and suffering.  So the next time you have a tough time, ask God to bless you and thank Him for the blessing you have that perhaps you haven't even taken notice of.  Be grateful for the breath you breath for it is a gift.  Allow the Light, which is God's perfect radiance, shine through you for others to see.
