“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.
