A New Day

 A New Day

God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

GENESIS 1.5

If you were asked to name the parts of a day, what would you say? Most people would list morning, afternoon, and night. But that’s not the way the Bible identifies a day. When God created all things, the Scripture indicates that the evening came first in a new day.

Most people think new days begin when things start to get light. God doesn’t order a full day that way. The Jewish faith recognises that although the Sabbath is Saturday, it begins at sunset on Friday evening. That is the start of the new day, the Sabbath Day.

If things seem to be getting darker in your life, be encouraged that this may be the beginning of a new day in life. We all like to see the light begin to shine, but remember that your Father starts a new time when it begins to get dark.

Don’t become discouraged if you have prayed for Him to work in your circumstances and it seems things are getting darker. That may point to the answer to your prayer. Just keep trusting Him, and in His time, the light will shine again.
