Out of the darkness - and into the light

Genesis 1:5 – “Day and Night”
It’s like the difference between Day and Night. What a great change there is in us when the Lord brings us out of our darkness and into His light.
Genesis 1:6 - “a firmament”
Firm – We have a firm foundation upon which to build our faith. There is solid ground upon which we can take our stand. The sold ground is Jesus Christ. He is the firm Foundation.
Genesis 1:7 - “the waters”
In the days of Noah, there was a great flood. All around us there is danger. The flood threatens to overwhelm us. How are we to be saved from drowning? There is one way of salvation. Jesus Christ is our Saviour.
Genesis 1:8 - “Heaven”
What a wonderful word this is! What a wonderful Saviour Jesus is. He is the way to heaven (John 14:6).
Genesis 1:9 – “gathered together unto one place”
What a release of the living waters of God’s Spirit there is when the Lord’s people are gathered together with a real desire to give praise and glory to Him.
Genesis 1:10 - “the gathering together of the waters”
When we are gathered together in the Lord’s House, we must pray that the Spirit of God will be at work among us, bringing to us a mighty river of blessing.
