“Then God made two great lights: the
great light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night… So the
evening and the morning were the fourth day.” Genesis 1:16,19
This week as I read a children’s
material and it was amazing because the following thought was explained at the
children’s level. I had learned this in college but I am happy that children
could understand how powerful God is. It’s about light, sun, and moon.
We know from the Bible that light
was created on the first day, and the sun and moon on the fourth day. But we
know that our light comes from the Sun. So how can this be? This is what the
children’s material[1]
reads: “God had a very important reason
for waiting until day four to make the sun and moon and planets, or what we
call the solar system… God knew that someday His human children would choose to
forget about their Creator, and begin worshiping the things He made, instead of
worshiping Him. [and thus there are many sun gods in the world.]
So when God
created the world, He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the sun was
simply one little piece of His great creation. The sun is no the life-giver;
God is the light-giver. He made the light before there ever was a sun.”
