And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
Light was at first chaos, scattered and confused, but God collected it and made it into several luminaries, both glorious and serviceable. He is a God of order, not confusion, and as He is light, He is the Father of all lights, placing them in the firmament like candles on a golden candlestick to give light to all that dwell below.
