Genesis 1:14-19
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. (ESV)

From the beginning of time, God has provided light. In these verses, we are shown that he not only provided light for the day, but also for the night. God knew from the time he set the world into existence that man would need light. At the time of creation, God provided literal sources of light. Later on, his plan included Jesus, the one who would light our paths and bring us back to a right standing with God—the true source of all light in our darkness. Look to him today and bask in his glory!
