![]() ![]() (For older Children) When God made the sun, moon, and the stars on the fourth day, the management of time and seasons began. How about the stars? (Bright, twinkle, suns, planets, distance, gasses. THE MOON COMES OVER THE TOWER FULLLet’s name as many words as possible about the moon (shine, reflect, eclipse, craters, Apollo flights, gravity, orbit, rocks, full moon, crescent moon. God knew that the earth would need the sun to survive.įor the night sky God made the moon and stars. Let the children name and discuss as many as possible. Let’s think of as many words as we can that have to do with the sun: (light, bright, burn, heat, warmth, UV rays, sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, orbit, gasses, eclipse. On the fourth day of creation God made the sun. Who knows one very important thing that all plants need to have to survive? (Let the children answer until they say the sun.) That’s right! If plants do not have sunlight then they will die. But of course God did not stop on the third day. God made all of the plants on the third day of creation. As Christians, we can shine like stars in our dark world of sin.God’s creation of the stars is beyond our comprehension.God gives good to us just as the sunshine brings good things our way.Instead, we are to worship the One who made them. As magnificent as the sun, moon and stars are, we are never to worship them.The heavens and skies tell the story of God ( Psalm 19:1-2).What else does the Bible have to say about the Sun, Moon and Stars? It is sad that many scientists ignore the One whose creation they are studying. It is interesting and good to want to learn about the creation. Scientists can only make guesses (theories) about how they think that it all came about. The creation of the world cannot be recreated in a scientific experiment. Who else but a living God could have created such a marvellous masterpiece?Ĭhildren in your classes will have been or will be exposed to a number of scientific theories as to how the universe came into existence. He made a universe that complements each aspect. Isn’t it amazing that Earth and the moon have orbit paths that ensure we do not collide with one another or the sun? Isn’t it amazing that Earth is the only planet that has just the right amount of oxygen for plant and animal life? God did have a plan for our existence. Isn’t it amazing how Earth is just the right distance from the sun so that we receive enough light and heat? If Earth were any closer, the heat would be so extreme that fiery destruction would be inevitable. Although space exploration does answer numerous questions, many more remain unanswered. They are working hard to find other forms of life and ways to encourage life on the moon. Scientists are trying to determine what exactly is in our universe. We have a difficult time comprehending that God created not only our world but also the great universe. ![]() When we know that each of the stars we see can be as big as our own sun it boggles the mind! Scientists believe that the Milky Way is 625,000 billion miles (a million billion kilometres) across. We only have to look into the night sky filled with stars to feel the majesty of God. ![]()
