Read Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning, when God created the universe,^{a 2}the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God^b was moving over the water. ³Then God commanded, “Let there be light”—and light appeared. ⁴God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness, ⁵and he named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”. Evening passed and morning came—that was the first day.

Think

When God speaks - the whole universe comes into order.  Inseparable things like light and darkness are divided up.

Pray

You are the God who speaks - free me to be obedient.

^a In the beginning ... the universe; or In the beginning God created the universe; or When God began to create the universe.

^b the Spirit of God; or the power of God; or a wind from God; or an awesome wind.
