God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Genesis 1:5 ESV
It was about 3:30 in the afternoon when we pulled up to our last lawn to mow for the week. “We’re here to cut the grass, Mrs. Schwartz*!” I called out as we hurried to get the mowers of the truck. But she quickly stopped us in our tracks, as she replied “Oh no, not now! It is too close to Sabbath.” You see, I was learning that when we Gentiles see a sunset and think, “Another day is done.” But, to the Jewish mind, just as in the book of Genesis, sunset is the beginning of a new one. Today’s verse makes it clear that darkness always comes first, and then light. “And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”
The same is true of God’s schedule for every one of us. When the darkness of illness, trouble of death falls in our lives, we think, “This is the end of my day!” But God replies, “Oh no; not at all! This night season you are about to pass through is a new beginning. It is almost Sabbath, and on the other side of this darkness is the second half of the day. There you will be sure to find both sunrise and true rest! “

I like “My Morning Walk”. But I wonder if the name is already used?
Yes now that is a great point. I will check. I am definitely looking before I leap on this. Thank you!
Interesting perspective, Pete. I had never thought of a connection between the description of evening and morning in Genesis and the Sabbath starting at sundown. – Or our troubled times being the beginning, and the end being when the light shines again. Thanks for sharing this insight. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Yes it is a different way of looking at time. One of the guys asked about that a few years ago in our men’s group and I never forgot about that. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I like this perspective Pastor Pete- “When the darkness of illness, trouble of death falls in our lives, we think, “This is the end of my day!” But God replies, “Oh no; not at all! This night season you are about to pass through is a new beginning.”. It is like looking through a dark tunnel and seeing the light waiting on the other end.
And I need the reminder because in passing through it all seems a bit shakey at times
