Reading – Genesis 1

Highlight Verse:

“Then God said, “Let there be light,”and there was light.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s tough to find the right clothes when the closet light doesn’t work. And we won’t even talk about the basement bathroom.

Yes, we’ve had some electrical problems around here.

But what was it like before God created light.

God only knows – literally.

The university I attended right out of high school had the Latin motto “Fiat Lux” or “Let There Be Light.”

They believed that knowledge would enlighten a person. In a sense, they were right.

But some of what I learned there, I had to unlearn when I got into the real world and saw what life was really like.

Some fifteen years later I went back to college – this time a Bible college.

That was truly enlightening.

It was like today, when I replaced light fixtures in our closet and the basement bathroom. Suddenly everything became clearer.

God created literal light in today’s verse. But I don’t think it’s an accident that this verse is right at the beginning of the Bible since God’s Word can bring so much into focus.

What has become clearer to you now that you are studying God’s Word?
Is there anything that is blocking the light of His Word from you?
