6. Fourth Day of Creation (Genesis 1:14ff)
Reading, thinking and praying about the Word of God. Beginning at the beginning.

God said,
{
Let there be lights
in the expanse of the sky
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs
to mark seasons, days, and years;
# Genesis 01:15
and let them be for lights
in the expanse of the sky
to give light on the earth;
}
and it was so.
God made the two great lights:
the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night.
He also made the stars.
God set them in the expanse of the sky
to give light to the earth,
and to rule over the day and over the night,
and to divide the light from the darkness.
God saw that it was good.
There was evening and there was morning,
a fourth day.

John 1:1-14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
