Title: From Evening to Bright Morning (Genesis 01:5)
Content “Introduction”
In the history of God's creation, which started the great journey of creation, we hear the precious voices of our lives without stopping.
If we compare the process of starting today's people to realize their dreams and ideals with the process of creation that God used, our challenges and perseverance will discover new comfort and possibilities.
1. How different is God's method from man's method
(2 Peter 03:08) “Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.”
A man works from morning to night, and his wish is to be the best, but a man's rosy desires and his best plans are overshadowed by darkness.
Creator's Day begins the evening before.
It is the law for him that from evening to night, from which day is created.
The night welcomes the light and breathes life into the soul and body for the coming morning.
2. Are we discouraged while doing God's work?
We must remember how long God worked in the midst of chaos until God's plan was fulfilled in an orderly and beautiful way.
The sound of trumpets and drums roars in human plans, but those plans are soon buried in darkness. (It is said that there is nothing to eat at the famous feast.) (There is a lot of empty stomach noise.)
The seeds of heaven are planted in the gloomy autumn ground,
The cornerstone of redemption was laid in Calvary's sorrow,
Eternal work usually begins in disappointment, suffering, and mourning, but ultimately leads to a bright day.
3. Are we going through very sad things that hurt our souls?
The march of sweat and tears passes days and months, but there is no response, no light of consolation, no signs of salvation.
But the hour of darkness is short of time.
The dawn rushes towards the far east.
At dawn the one who loves us will meet us.
4. Are you discouraged by the world?
It's dark now, and more darkness seems to come,
Since the first creation began in darkness, is it not self-evident that the second creation also begins in darkness?
And out of the first darkness the light appeared, and the second light as well: Behold that star waiting for the morning, the day will never become night, but it will go forth toward the brilliant noon.
Application 1). I think of the lives of the saints who are easily exhausted in the fierce life field that will continue even in 1994 and the battle of faith for the Lord.
2). Let the saints look at the bright morning and awaken again to prayer, challenge, and perseverance.
3). Let us find the source in God's order of creation and in the process.
