“Your unfailing Love, Oh Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.”

Psalm 36:5 NLT

This is the second writing in a series of seven on how we are a New Creation in Christ. This writing is intended to reflect the message of salvation through the language used in the Creation story in the beginning of our Bibles. Today’s writing reflects the second day of Creation in which I will use the word, daughters, instead of waters and show how God is the Cloud that reflects the Light of His way and puts a divider between two places. When referring to the person involved in the process of salvation, I’m using the terms, Daughter(s) and Daughter(s) of God. Keep in mind that the language of the Bible is all inclusive of His Sons and Daughters, my focus is building up the Daughters of God, so this is the language that I am using.

“Then God said, ‘Let there be a space between the daughters of God, to separate the daughters of the heavens from the daughters of the earth.’ And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the daughters of the earth from the daughters of the heavens. As Daughters of God, when we receive the Light of God’s truth in us, we begin to change as we view and live more truthfully every day. As we seek out God’s face and His core values, we begin to reflect these core values in our lives. This puts a space, or a relational distance, between us and the people in our lives. As we become Daughters of God, some of those around us will remain daughters of men.

“God called this space, ‘Sky.’ “ Another word for sky is heaven. So, heaven separates the Daughters of God from the daughters of men. The sky is also the place where the clouds move and is supported on foundations and columns. Our character is like our foundation. When God’s character of Truth is the foundation of our character, He is the cloud that holds us up as Daughters of the Kingdom of Heaven. It separates us from the Kingdom of the earth because Heaven is God’s throne and the earth is His footstool.

“And the evening passed and the morning came, marking the second phase of salvation.” This is how the Kingdom of Heaven is near according to Matthew 3:2. When God is sending out His Search-Light, the Holy Spirit, to call His daughters, and they see it and begin to live in it, then He protects His daughters with the relational distance that takes place between His daughters and those that are not His daughters. God’s daughters are now protected by Truth and Relational Distancing so that God can continue His mighty work of salvation in His Daughters.

This writing is based on Genesis 1:6-8; Isaiah 66:1; and Matthew 3:2.

I’m going to tell a well-known story in an unusual way. It’s the story of Creation told through the lens of salvation. I’m beginning this with Genesis Chapter 1 and I’m changing some of the language. Instead of using the word, “earth,” I’m replacing that with the word, “person.” As a daughter of God, I want to make it very clear how the story of salvation is illustrated so very beautifully through the act of Creation. Scripture clearly says that when we are made new in Christ, we have become a New Creation. This is what that new creation is about. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

In the beginning, God created the atmosphere and the person. The person was without form and void; and darkness was deep in this person’s heart. And the Spirit of God was nurturing or shaking this person up in their dark atmosphere. The Holy Spirit was moving or inspiring this person. The Holy Spirit was calling this person out of darkness.

Then God said, “Let there be Light in this person’s atmosphere.” And there was Light. And God saw the Light and it was good. God approved the Light and divided the Light from darkness. God divided the Truth from the emptiness and void of darkness. God called the Light Day and the darkness He called Night. With the Light of Day, the person can see clearly and with the darkness of Night is adversity.

Because of how this person started out in darkness and God called the Light into their lives, we see how God calls each person out of the atmosphere of darkness into His atmosphere of Light and Peace. So evening and morning, is the first day.

This is the first of a series of writing about the creation account as the account of a person who is in the process of salvation. There are seven days in the week of Creation and so there will be seven short writings and descriptions in this whole process of how God recreates each person who answers His call. As daughters of God, we have been called out of darkness into light. And while we are being called out of darkness, we are given this same mission as we grow and learn in the atmosphere of Heaven. It is our mission as Inspired Daughters, to inspire others with the precious Light of Heaven, calling others into the Kingdom of Heaven where the Light comes from. (Matthew 28:18-20)

This writing is based on the following places in scripture:

 (Isaiah 9:2; Matthew 4:16; Acts 26:18; John 8:12)
