I have been writing this blog for almost 8 years!!  I have chronicled my way through the Old Testament ( some books twice) and the New Testament two and a half times.  I have only a few followers.. and I have no idea if they actually read this...  Perhaps, it is truly a time for change.

Lord, lead me.

Genesis 1 "In the beginning..."  It all starts with God.  Jesus said that He is the "Beginning and the End".  The foremost and the uttermost.  He is the Word as John wrote.. " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." John 1:1-3

God created the heavens.. the sky.. and the earth which was "formless and void.." and dark. The surface was covered with water and the "Spirit of God" hovered there.

It is in verse 3 that God speaks.. " Let there be light".   With those 4 words.. time begins.. a distinction is made.. and a judgement is pronounced.

Time begins - "there was evening and there was morning, one day."
A distinction is made - ".. and God separated the light from the darkness." 
A judgement is pronounced - " And God saw that the light was good; " 

"In Him was life and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it." ( John 1:4)

Jesus, the True Light from heaven says this, " And this is the judgement, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."  ( John 3:19-21)

Father, Creator of heaven and earth and giver of Light, shine on us. Fill us with Yourself. Lead us in Your truth.  In the name of Jesus, the Word of God who became flesh, we pray. Amen.
