Creation: Fourth Day: Sun, Moon and Stars


When the morning stars sang together” Job 38:7 KJV
Here’s that raucous creation out singing praises to God again. And why would they be doing that? They could be doing it because He is worthy of praise at all times. They could be doing it because He created them with something to do and they are glad to be about the Father’s business. Note that when God made the sun, moon and stars, He gave them jobs to do. They were to give light, be signs for seasonal changes and make us aware of days and years. The stars were also made to give directions as every sailor knows. 
God didn’t just make nature for a purpose; He made us for a purpose as well. Our chief purpose is to give praise to His glory as Paul told the Ephesians three times. Paul said in First Corinthians that the Holy Spirit gave every believer at least one spiritual gift to profit the entire church. Jesus said that we have the job of being salt and light in this world. If we ever feel that we are not important God wants to assure us that we have lots to do. We can praise Him for giving us purpose every day.

Dear Father, Thank You for giving me a purpose in life. Amen. 


  The Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend.  Amen
