Genesis 1 is the grand story of creation. Whenever I read it, I like to view this beautiful story like a child on a field trip to a planetarium—sitting in a circular room with my head tilted back, waiting in rapt anticipation. The lights dim and the “sky” changes from a black void to a star-studded panorama. Imagine with me, God at work transforming the dark, shapeless earth into an amazingly–ordered world surrounded by exquisite heavens.
