As we were working through our study of Genesis chapter 1 I found myself teaching and reflecting at the same time. I was teaching on the phrase "And God said, and there was" and in the midst of my thoughts I realized that the first words of God were "Let there be light". Imagine the sheer power and majesty required to bring forth light out of nothingness.
Our God is not a God against. He has no equal and there is no other power that can truly oppose Him. It is clear from Scripture that Satan certainly tries to oppose His plans, but it is equally as clear that Satan himself recognizes that he is accountable to this God who speaks light into the void. In fact, it seems to be only man that creates open war against this God and God in his infinite wisdom and mercy allows it.
Who are we to question a God who simply says "Let there be" and there is? Who are we to question His perfect judgment. I have a hard time making things out of existing materials. Who am I to question the God who makes such beauty and majesty out of void.
Creation seems to have this effect of placing us in a perpetual state of awe of the God who made it. I trust that you will acknowledge and praise God today and thank Him not only for light, but for the Light of the World through whom we are made whole.
