well good morning beautiful welcome to a brand new day of life happy Happy Wednesday, my friends. It is such a good day to get to be alive. I am so thankful to be part of your day. I'm here to help you get your day started right. The title of today's episode of the Big Life Devotional podcast is, Waiting for the Sun.

Have you ever wondered why God, in all of his power and majesty,

made the world the way he did?

Why would he create the earth to be a round ball and then make it to spin? Why would he position the sun

to create light and darkness day and night? He could have done anything he wanted to do, but why

did he create all of this the way he did? God designed our world to go through light and darkness on a daily basis,

when he could have just as easily made it bright and sunny every day, all day. But God, in all of his

wisdom and authority, wanted day and night.

He wanted bright sunny skies and dark nights.

Psalms 104 verses 19 through 24, skipping around a little bit in those verses, says,

He made the moon to mark the seasons,

and the sun knows when to go down.

You bring darkness.

It becomes night.

How many are your works, Lord.

In wisdom, you made them all.

It is God's wisdom that makes the sun to set.

It is God's knowledge that makes the dark of night.

There is purpose in this. The sky gets dark at night for a reason. It is a forced

reminder that we are never meant to see everything. An invitation to trust what is unseen
