Reflecting on God’s Creation: A Daily Devotion from Genesis 1

Day 1: The Wonder of Light

Scripture: Genesis 1:3-5

As we embark on this journey of reflection through the creation story in Genesis 1, let us first pause to marvel at the wonder of light. In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Consider the beauty and significance of this moment. Light pierces through darkness, bringing clarity, warmth, and life. It symbolizes God’s presence, His revelation, and His guidance in our lives.

Take a moment today to bask in the light around you. Whether it’s the gentle glow of the morning sun or the flickering of candlelight in the evening, reflect on how God’s light illuminates your path. Just as He brought light into the darkness at the dawn of creation, He continues to shine His light into the dark places of our hearts, bringing hope, healing, and transformation.

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of light. Help us to appreciate its beauty and significance in our lives. May Your light shine brightly within us, dispelling darkness and revealing Your truth. Amen.
