Feb 26 - God the Creator

Read Genesis 1:1-9

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. (NIV)

I am continually amazed by God's creation. The sky and the sea are so immense that it's easy to comprehend how big God is when you stand between them on a beach. And daytime and nighttime...what a great concept! He could have kept it light or dark all day long, but he chose to give us a division in our day that allows us to start new again every 24 hours. And he did so with amazing colors to grace the transitions!

Today take time to really look at the sky several times...in the morning, at noon, at sunset, and after dark. The sky constantly changes, yet it always remains stable! How many colors do you see in the clouds? Even a solid blue sky holds many hues of color. Thank him for his workmanship as you go through the day.
