Genesis 1:5 (KJV) “And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Our Scriptural text (verse) closes the account of the first day of creation. Though brief, it reveals how God works in time and in life. Every divine day begins with evening and ends with morning. This is not accidental; it is instructional. Evening represents darkness, uncertainty, and limitation. God often starts His greatest works in moments of confusion or weakness (2 Cor. 12:9). Do not despise seasons that feel dark; God may be initiating something new.
Now, “morning” signifies light, clarity, renewal, and hope. Darkness never has the final word when God is involved. Hold on through the night. God’s light is certain, not optional. The Bible says, “… weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psa. 30:5). God’s day begins in the evening. We rest first, in the grace of God (evening), before we give ourselves to labour (morning). So, life flows from God’s presence, not human strength. Every God-ordained day begins with evening but ends with morning. If your life feels like evening today, be assured, God is still on schedule.
