Let there be light

Genesis 1:1-5

​In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

 

​In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…. And God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light.

God our Creator,

I praise you for this wonderful world!

 

Not by chance, but by choice

You created this world 

before we took a breath.

 

A theatre of Your glory.

 

‘Let there be light’, You said.

A spotlight shines on the empty stage,

waiting for the scenery

the characters

the unfolding plot of creation.

 

Lord, as your light shines 

on our creation today,

open my eyes to see

and marvel at all you have made.

 

I blink and marvel at the miracle of light. 

 

God, our Creator, 

I praise you for this wonderful world. AMEN
