Luke 18:7
Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw how good the light was.

We normally work on daytime and take a rest on night time. And during ancient times, this becomes more important since human beings cannot work and see well in darkness. We would need light on order for us to function well. We need light so we can accomplish what we need to do.
And God was no different. When He started with the Creation, He saw “the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss”. And He despised darkness and so what was the first thing He did?
He let light come to be.
With light, He was able to appreciate the beauty of things that He created afterwards. But of course, he also created “night” for he knows that men would also need to rest.
But with the advent of artificial lighting, man learned to extend their working hours beyond night time. Now, we can even work through the night and make day time as our rest time. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as we take time during our rest time to pray to, worship and glorify Him.
He has given us all the time to work for ourselves, but let us not forget that He also created “night” in order for us to take rest and have the time to thank Him for all the things and the blessings He has given throughout the day.
Let there be light. May His light come into us. May His light guide us in all our undertakings and plans. And when that time has come to take a rest, may we grab that opportunity to appreciate all the things this life has offered. And may that rest be a peaceful one with Him.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, let there be light in my life. May we appreciate also the value of rest and being at peace with You. Amen +
May the Lord be glad in his works.
