"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Genesis 1:31
It was the perfect day! From evening to morning, from darkness to daytime, everything came together perfectly to create one day - and so, God rested.
Oh, that my Creator might give to me the faith of such an extraordinary experience. That He might help me to bask in evening's glory. So many times I consider God to be good and His blessing's beautiful in the morning when the sun is shining and hope is bursting forth over a new day. However, I still need to learn to thank Him for my evenings. So many times I consider what has happened during the course of my day to be happenstance, an accident, bad luck - anything and everything except God and His goodness. He is making me in His image often against my will. My forward progress is found from darkness to dawn. The time that I become aware of His work in my life is when my day truly begins.
"To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; things which angels desire to look into." 1 Peter 1:12
"Things which angels desire to look into." What is it that the angels study? Have you ever asked yourself that question? What subjects do they desire look into? I would have thought that they would set their minds on things above, on heavenly things. Wouldn't you? Surely the things that angels think about would surpass the things that we have to think about in our daily, earthly, human lives.
