The creative account in Genesis is the kindest passage of literature ever written. In three chapters it is all accomplished, everything is made and made to work together for good. It must have been exquisite, serene in its quietness, its bountifulness, and the fulfillment of everything made, each thing perfect. And then came chapter 4 and it was all cursed with death. That had to be the second most sorrow-filled day in history. But those first three days will always remain as the truth of life here, even broken it is still overwhelmingly kind; it supersedes all other events except perhaps, Christ’s death and resurrection, but even that has to be held in the context of the creation which made His coming necessary. God, I just wanted to again thank you for the act and for the recording. How shallow it would be for me to sit here in front of this roaring kiln and be unaware of where fire originated. “Let there be light”, and light appeared””. Kiln sitting is akin to walking in Eden in the cool of the day; it is being with one of the kindest of all creations, fire, and having unrestrained access to its Inventor.
