This day, God continued to keep His guarantee that He would provide light in darkness. He created one GIANT light for us and plenty more smaller planets to reflect that light. He created the galaxy full of stars and planets each one different than the next, all rotating in unison around the sun. Even when we can’t see the sun on our side of the earth we still are receiving its light through the reflection of the stars and moon. When we are in a complete shadow we receive a light in the darkness by our amazing Creator.
Have fun with Day 4! Trace your shadows from the sun with chalk, go for an evening walk and lay on the sidewalk or grass (away from lights of course) to look up to see the amazing stars, keep track of the moon phases and different shapes. God created the sun, moon and stars for us to enjoy!
