Genesis
1:6 Then God said, "Let there be a space between the waters, to separate
the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth."
Memory Scripture of the Week
Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered
the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the
waters.
Genesis 1:3-4 Then God said, "Let there be
light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he
separated the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:5 God called the light "day" and
the darkness "night." And evening passed and morning came, marking
the first day.
Genesis
1:6 Then God said, "Let there be a space between the waters, to separate
the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth."
Genesis 1:7 And that is what happened. God made this
space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.
Genesis 1:8 God called the space "sky."
And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day.
SPACE. God
said it and it happened. Elbows out…wiggling. Space created from where there
had been darkness and light. We all need our “space.” In different cultures
different people need different amounts of space between them and their close
friends, business associates or strangers. Even within the United States some
people, like those raised in the wide open wilderness or open farmlands, need
lots of space. I find that some city folks are so used to crowding that they
aren’t offended when someone gets up close to them. Up close…but not personal. And
let’s mind our manners—no spitting. God is a gentleman. The Father, Son and
Holy Spirit at Creation probably didn’t have a problem with their individual
space. Remember the Spirit was hovering
over the surface of the waters. He didn’t get in the way of the Father and
the Son as they created. They are all respectful of each other. Can we be the
same? Respectful of each other’s space?
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, You are the Light
of the World (John 8:12). Shine Your light on me—illuminating Your
truth...giving hope to me and to everyone. May Your light through me. May the
space that You created never be void in my life…and may I feel Your
presence—Your light shining in the darkness.
