Separation of the Waters and Boundaries In My Life
A short devotional thought from Genesis 1:6-8
“Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters to separate the waters from each other”…And it happened in that way. God named the dome Sky.
—Genesis 1:6-8 (CEB)
As God's creative actions continue, we see the image of a dome separating the earthly waters from those. Above are the waters—rain and snow—that fall to earth. Below lies the realm of flora, fauna, and humanity hammered into shape as a goldsmith shapes a new bowl.
God continues bringing order out of chaos and defining boundaries for the universe. Balance and harmony continue throughout this creative process and are reflected in the lives of humanity, made in God’s very image.
We encounter order and boundaries that define our relationships, responsibilities, purpose, and priorities. There is a time and a place for everything…and each season of life brings adjustments to these orders and boundaries. The same Creator who created the livable space for humanity is also chiseling out my life as a new creation in Christ.
Insightful. John
