what came first night or day?*

What came first, night or day, is the question Rose asked. Without thinking much I answered, night. As I looked into God's word, I believe I gave a correct answer. Genesis 1:2-3; "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light."  So after reading this, it sounds like it was dark all around and God created light. I also thought about this and I believe this is how God wants to teach our children about him. One question at a time. No big theological discussion, just a simple question, and a simple answer, in the course of a day. None of us learn it all at once, it is more of a lifetime of learning. Even as adults, we still learn day by day. This simple question was not a theological question at all. Rose is only 7. But I believe God wants us to take these small insignificant moments to teach about him, the creator of night and day and all creatures great and small. I wished I'd done more of this type of interaction when my kids were small. Perhaps they would now know God and have that personal relationship with him that is so needed in all our lives.
