Psalm 104:19
Psalm 104:19
He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
God has ordained both the sun and the moon to keep time and seasons in order, displaying His intricate design and authority over creation. This rhythm of day and night reflects the consistency and faithfulness of God’s care for us. He establishes the cycles of nature, and just as the sun sets each day, we are reminded that there is order and purpose in His creation. Each season and each day bring new opportunities to witness His handiwork. This verse is a reminder that God is sovereign over both the grand and subtle rhythms of life. In our lives, we experience different “seasons”—times of growth, waiting, rest, and renewal. Just as the sun knows when to set, there is a time and season for every purpose under heaven. When we are in seasons of waiting or uncertainty, we can trust that God, who has set the sun and moon in their places, is equally in control of the timing in our lives. He knows when to bring new beginnings and when to close a chapter, guiding us faithfully through every phase.

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
Psalm 84:11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Joshua 10:13
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
