Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV)
“1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
There is a harmony between God and creation; a symphony of relational reaction between His heart and the creation appearing. He begins and continues creation with one simple prevailing word “let.” The Hebrew word here for let הָיָה (hāyâ) is both a command and an invitation; God’s commands are invitations a call to relationship.
When His commands are obeyed love is manifested. Love becomes the relational symphony lived out with God; this is the “new sound” every time it appears. Let it be. Letting things happen is reciprocal (expressing mutual relationship or action) both by the commanding invitation and the accepter, the giver and the receiver.
Therefore, the first day of creation became a paradigmatic event for the following days. It is as simple as this, nothing can happen unless we let it; let demands a response, "...and there was light."
