Good evening! An evening meditation. In the generations of Genesis, God and His Spirit can divide waters from waters and many other wonders, even soul and spirit and He can divide our thoughts and intents of the heart.

Separating waters from above (1:7) is a similar action to what is mentioned in v.4. In order to understand this we need to see the two worlds which were framed by the word of God.(He.11:3) Waters from above indicate the invisible quality of God. Mercy of God is not seen but in the world made to appear it is seen as rain for instance. "for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground."(Ge.2:8) Blessing always come from the greater to the lesser. God blessed man and there was nothing in the two worlds framed by God. Invisible God blessed man in his Son. "According to the good pleasure of his will' St Paul says in Ep.1:3-6). Waters below the firmament is grace while waters above is mercy. "Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ"

Another important point to remember is that God named heaven earth and seas."And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas."(1:8-10) Such naming establishes God as the Lord God, acknowledging his sovereignty over them. Heaven declares the glory accordingly. (Ps.19:1)

Light and darkness are same to God, the Father of lights. (Ps.139:12) God sent the Son who is the true Light. By separating light from darkness He has revealed his Will. Thus there are only two nations, where inheritance of children of light is determined by the Son. The other nation refers to the heathen, the children of darkness

Very nice Bennymkje! I have had many of the same thoughts!

Thank you!

Good morning GIGI! Thank you for your own meditations. The Lord can reveal his light to us as God divides the His Word into that in which we need this present day. Hope all is well up the coast!

God Bless this day.

Thanks Carleton,

Ot is pleasant weather here, nut the wildfire smoke can be problematic some days.

The Lord had need good to us and we are thankful to Him.

Same to our family too GIGI! Thank you, I hope you all have a good day!

Carleton, great meditation. Yes, the Spirit knows us through and through, all of us. He can discern between thoughts, intentions, motives, and the struggle we wage between the sinful nature and the reborn spirit within us. We can never fool God, for sure. And so, we should always remember that He desires truth in our inward parts before Him. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us. What a good feeling it is to stand cleansed before our Maker. It is the best way to be!

I appreciate the way you connected the Spirit's parting of the waters in Genesis to the Spirits dividing between our soul and spirit by the Word of God ( Heb. 4:12)

Have a blessed evening of rest, Carleton.
