And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of
the earth from the waters of the heavens. Genesis 1:7
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.
That is what happened. God spoke…He made…this space to separate the waters. Poof. Were there lightning bolts
as the air rushed about creating the space?
God is so powerful…and yet so gentle that He created delicate flowers, wispy
clouds and precious little babies in all sorts of animals. I don’t imagine that
there was anything delicate about the space He created to separate the waters. Water
is heavy and God just pushed it out of the way to create the “space” He needed
for other things. Space. Space is
such a rare commodity. Everyone wants and needs space and God just created what He wanted…where He needed it to separate
the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. There it is…waters of Heavens
and waters of Earth. Splish. Splash. Like darkness and light. God created and separated
things we often take for granted. What things in your life do you separate from
others?
Prayer ~ Lord God. You are all powerful and majestic. Awesome. I can only imagine the power of the space being created. Create in me a space that only You can fill…with Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. May Your creation continue to amaze people around the world and draw them closer to You…to Your truth, Your way and the life that You give…abundantly.
