What Is It You Do Not Understand?

    Understanding the first four days of creation.  In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth.  According to Strong's interpretation of this verse in biblical theological understanding, he and J.P. Green strongly suggest that we must take the verse at face value.  All of the heavens above the earth surface exist.  The earth at this point is in darkness, the atmosphere above, being opaques.  God created the earth and the Spirit hovers over it.  He is moving gently over the surface of the earth.  This is the development of the miraculous universe and all elements required to sustain the inhabitants, humankind.  This shows us the account of the origin of the maker of the earth and the heavens.  This creation allows man to keep their eye upon the heavens, while firmly planting their feet on earths ground in Christian faith, fully knowing that the Lord was their with the Father in the beginning.  We often see the account of the great works Jesus did throughout the bible, yet as the world was empty and formless, our Savior was there, as part of God's design plan which would lead the Savior to the cross, crucifixion and his glory at the Fathers right hand in all power.
    God said let there be light and with a flash their was light.  Wow!  Can you imagine if man possessed this power, we would be destroyed in a heartbeat.  You see the Father has rational thought while man at times has irrational thought, which is what makes mans action full of sin and evil deeds.  Each day that God created is not just a day in itself, but has biblical reference more profound than we are able to understand unless we study the word of God and see it's correlations.
    You see, God willed the light to come.  It is through His power of WORD that not only did He give light to the earth, but He also gives light to the human soul.  God is also showing us here that the light is through Jesus.  Genesis 1: 6-13, tells us that both day and night belong to the Lord.  He owns it!  He made night and day for the purpose of man to come and for the purpose of distinguishing to the the difference between good and evil.  By doing this he also makes it easy for man to realize that there is a higher presence at work and to keep abreast of these facts.  This knowledge will keep us on the straight and narrow path in life.  So, we have the first day and God saw that it was good.
   The second day is made with expanse between the waters and to separate the waters.  He also made an expanse between the waters on the ground and the water of the sky above.  God gives us a cycle of water vapors to replenish the earth in all it's beauty as a magnificent gift.  He places clouds in perfect height and position.  We don't often think of the intricate of how things on earth work, only the fact that they do.  The water is essential part of  our world  system that God produced, giving us grass, fruit, livestock that feeds and drinks, which is fundamental for our growth and life.  Seeing this and all that is created, Christians will give Him back the glory that is His, we benefit from.  This gives us reason to pray, so that we may embrace His love.  The living water that only He can give helps to restore our soul for our individual well being, as we see in Psalm 23.   This being the second  day.  God  found  favor with this day as He saw it as being good.
    Day three, let the water from the sky gather in one place an let dry land appear.  The ground to be called  "land" and the seas  "water."  There will be fruit, trees and vegetation of various kinds bearing seeds and other plants.  God saw the beginning that He is going to give to man to maintain.  He makes the seas that will flow with endless waters and a basin for all other waters like rivers and streams that will form.  These waters will not cross the boundaries into other water territories, yet unique unto their own.  God shows us that both creation and reproduction is in an orderly approach.  He is creating history.  He shows us who is in control.  God is sovereign and He reminds us with the reassurance of everything He has created, which is more than meets the eye.  We do not need nor do we have to understand everything, because it is more than we can handle in our limited state.  This is why God allows us to visualize the beauty He gives us that is both out from reach and  yet tangible.   He made two great lights.  The brightest to govern the day and the lesser to govern the night.  He made stars in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth.  Christians fell the days being symbolic to the bible in various ways throughout the testimony of Christ.
