MEDITATION

Genesis 1:14-19

14 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;
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.
16 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.
17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Psalm 74:16-17

16 The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun.
17 You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. The creation of the sun, moon, and stars

a. They were made to support the other things God created.
b. Additional ideas:
i. They were for signs,
ii. And for seasons.
iii. For the calculation of days and years.

2. Knowledge of God applied (Psalm 74)

a. The Psalmist Asaph used his knowledge of God in prayer.
b. He meditated on the LORD as Creator.
c. He went on to appeal to God to deliver His people from oppression.
d. The LORD has awesome powers and He can bring that to deal with wickedness.

APPROPRIATE RESPONSE

Let the knowledge of God as Creator move us to pray with both faith and hope. There is much evil in the world. Let us pray that God will deliver His people from evil oppressors!

经文：创世记 1：14-19；诗篇 74：16-17

沉思

《创世记 1：14-19》
14 神说：“天上要有光体，可以分昼夜，做记号，定节令、日子、年岁，
15 并要发光在天空，普照在地上。”事就这样成了。
16 于是神造了两个大光，大的管昼，小的管夜，又造众星。
17 就把这些光摆列在天空，普照在地上，
18 管理昼夜，分别明暗。神看着是好的。

19 有晚上，有早晨，是第四日。

《诗篇 74：16-17》
16 白昼属你，黑夜也属你，亮光和日头是你所预备的。

17 地的一切疆界是你所立的，夏天和冬天是你所定的。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 创造太阳、月亮与众星

a. 这是为了维持其他上帝所创造之物
b. 这些光体，也是为了：
i. 做记号
ii. 定节令
iii. 数算日子与年岁

2. 运用对上帝的知识《诗篇 74》

a. 诗者亚萨在他的祷告中运用了他对上帝的认识
b. 他沉思主为创造者
c. 他祈求上帝从压迫中拯救祂的子民
d. 主拥有伟大的能力，祂能利用其大能来对付邪恶

适当的反应

让我们以上帝为创造者的知识激励我们以信心与盼望来祷告。这世间有太多的邪恶。让我们祈求上帝从恶人的压迫中拯救祂的子民！
