SUN

SUN

Then God said,

"Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens

to divide the day from the night;

and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

"and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens

to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

Then God made two great lights:

the greater light to rule the day,

and the lesser light to rule the night.

He made the stars also.

- Genesis 1:14-16  

LIGHT:

Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day,

The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,

Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name):

- Jeremiah 31:35

KNOWLEDGE:

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.

Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

- Psalm 19:1-6  

MERCY:

To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever--

The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever;

The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.

- Psalm 136:7-9

Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

- Matthew 5:45

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,

by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor,

even as God in Christ forgave you.

- Joshua 10:13
