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.
Isaiah 60:19
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Revelation 1:16
His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Matthew 5:45
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Psalm 113:3
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
