3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
This verse marks God’s first spoken command in Scripture. God brings physical light into existence before the sun, stars, or moon—showing His power as the source of all creation. This counters ideas that light or the cosmos arose independently or accidentally.
God speaks and it is done—this reminds us of His authority, creativity, and ability to bring clarity out of chaos. We are called to trust His word and His timing in bringing light into dark places.
