God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good.
Then he separated the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:3-4 NLT
God created light and saw it was good. But He didn’t banish the darkness; He separated it, He put it in its place.
“The darkness declares the glory of light.”
T. S. Eliot
God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day.
Genesis 1:5 NLT
The evening first, then the morning. The order ordained by God.
Night never had the last word. The dawn is always invincible.
Hugh B. Brown
Because of God’s tender mercy,
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.”
Luke 1:78-79 NLT
“Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light.”
Madeline L’Engle
