Why God made the Moon
By Steven P. Wickstrom
all scripture quoted is from the NASB
Several years ago I awoke at 3:00 a.m. with the room brightly lit by a full moon. I opened the blinds and gazed up at it in wonder. I was awestruck by its beauty and intense luminance. What a curious creation, I thought to myself. I found myself wondering why God had created the moon. I could think of no better place than the Bible to find out why God made something. So I opened my Bible and turned to the creation story in Genesis and began to read.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (v1)
And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. (v2)
Then God said, "Let there be light

Excellent piece. I always remembered at a concert...back in the 70's that Barry McQuire said he wanted to be a "full moon!" Always reflecting the light of the Son. It was too cute!
As a ventriloquist, I speak often of Jesus as the Light, and how we are to shine as a light in this world. I love your comparison to the moon and hope you don't mind if I refer to it! It's wonderful! Thank you!
Great article as usual. -Carole
