Creation Moment 3/13/2021 - Thoughts on Day 2 of Creation

 "The 2nd Day:
Clouds are the Dust of His Feet .... Nahum 1:3

Genesis 1 
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
 
On first thought it seems as though the work of the second day was very meager; but man’s first thoughts of God’s work are always very limited. Wonderful lessons of hope and comfort are to be learned from this day is often referred to in the Bible as an example of the mighty power of God....
 
The Book of Job contains some magnificent descriptions of the power and majesty of God. 
Job 26 
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing. 
8 He binds up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 
 
Who can ever tire of watching the clouds in their varying forms?

....
Think of the immense quantities of water that they hold, to pour out in the earth at the appointed time!
 
--Science may tell us, in part, what conditions must obtain
before rain falls, and may predict its occurrence with considerable accuracy; but this does not disprove the fact that God Himself orders the rain.
There are many things that man has observed in regard to the working of God, and there are many more that might be observed. That is what God wants us to do."
