Early evening moon on Thursday, January 8, 2026

It was a 20-day old Waning Gibbous and 65% illuminated.

Sometimes I look at the moon and wonder how God hung it in the sky.

How does it stay there?

Sometimes I just wonder – and believe it was as He said.

Genesis 1:14-18 International Standard Version

Then God said, “Let there be lights across the sky to distinguish day from night, to act as signs for seasons, days, and years, to serve as lights in the sky, and to shine on the earth!”

And that is what happened: God fashioned two great lights—the larger light to shine during the day and the smaller light to shine during the night—as well as stars. 

God placed them in space to shine on the earth, to differentiate between day and night, and to distinguish light from darkness.

And God saw how good it was.
