Oh yea…. He did that too

Oh yea…. He did that too

Genesis 1:14-19   And God said, “Let bright lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. They will be signs to mark off the seasons, the days, and the years. 15 Let their light shine down upon the earth.” And so it was. 16 For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun, presides during the day; the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set these lights in the heavens to light the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 This all happened on the fourth day. (NLT)

Moses was writing the history of time, when time began, when God formed the earth, & heavens, and all that we know of it today. We can’t even come to the smallest grasp the power of God in creation; our small minds cannot fathom the complexity of speaking these things into existence. We are so wrapped up in the works mentality, that creation has become belittled in science and media into an evolution process. It takes greater faith in err to believe the idea of evolution, than it does in a supreme being and creation. The evidence lies before you every day of that supreme being; the proof that cannot be explained, and the evidence of your need to worship Him.

Moses was telling us of the fourth day, of the division of night and day, of the creation of the sun, and moon, and stars. The worship and mystification of the astrology has been around since the days of Moses; people seem drawn to the signs of the stars. The beauty in them, has led to worship of them. Moses directs that almost as an afterthought; “Oh yea, God also created those stars too; no big deal.” God breathed those stars existence. They were simply an act of his Will in  creation of all he had planned. They hold no special power, they are not worthy of worship, they are a natural beauty of creation to behold and point us to the power of God. Deuteronomy 4:19 And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars — all the forces of heaven — don’t be seduced by them and worship them. The LORD your God designated these heavenly bodies for all the peoples of the earth. (The Message).

I say that if God can breath a star into existence, the details of my life are a breeze. When I get wrapped up into questioning the why of my circumstances, I try to remember it all falls under His design. Where I am at, what I am facing, what I am struggling to understand is all for me to draw closer to Him. Satan is the one who draws people into astrology; he is the same one who plants doubt and fear. I must rest on the hope that is found in Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. When I wanna know the answer, all I really need to do is know God. All I really need to do is to continually seek Him, and in him I may find the answer, but I will surely find peace to know he is in control of it all.
