He who created light from darkness (흑암(黑巖)), and made the great luminary, the ‘sun’ (해), in the heavens
Morning sunlight streams through the living room window.
Sometimes the sunlight is so bright that I squint, but when the sun is hidden behind thick clouds or a heavy blanket of clouds, making the world dark, I always wait for the brightness the sunlight brings.
The presence or absence of sunlight can affect my mood, causing brightness or depression, but that sunlight cannot deal with the garbage of greed churning deep within my heart.
It's the bright light from the ‘sun’ (해), so why can't it reach even my heart?
On the fourth day of creation (창조(創造)) of heaven and earth (천지(天地)), God made the great luminary, the ‘sun’ (해), in the firmament (궁창(穹蒼)). However, on the first day, God had already caused light to shine from the darkness (흑암(黑巖)) and saw that the light was good, and this light separated the day from the night.
No matter how intelligent (영특(英特, 영민하고 뛰어남)) a human being is, they are a being who cannot see even an inch (한 치(한 자(1척(尺)의 10분의 1로 약 3.03cm에 해당하는 길이 단위. 촌(寸)이라고도 한다) 앞을 못 보는 존재다)) ahead.
Also, as we live, we become bound by human relationships (인간관계(人間關係)), money, power (권력(權力)), and honor (명예(名譽)), and end up wounded and battered.
Even the smartest and healthiest person, as the saying goes, ‘Even a strong warrior (장사(壯士)) is no match for time (세월(歲月))’, like a strong warrior, becomes powerless and leaves the world in vain (허무(虛無)) like a rusted and thinned iron plate. Then, their family buries their body in the ground, and erects a single tombstone, and that's the end.
At this point, should we continue on this path of life that we cannot foresee even an inch (한 치) ahead and is so meaningless (허무한)?
Or should we follow the light that God shone on the first day of creation (천지창조(天地創造)), on our journey (여정(旅程)) of life (인생(人生))?
It's worth considering.
When you think about it, the greed (탐욕(貪慾)) deeply held in your heart is the fruit of temptation (유혹(誘惑)) that has come to humans since Adam left the Garden of Eden.
Their descendants, who ate that fruit, even though they have shown off in the bright sunlight, have ultimately lived a meaningless (허무(虛無)) life leading to destruction (멸망(滅亡)). During their lives, the uncertainty (막막함) and darkness of not being able to see even an inch (한 치) ahead, how terrifying is that?
The Lord, who guides my life (인생(人生)) with light and gives promises about the hope (소망(所望)) of the future (미래(未來)), isn't it worthwhile to invest (投資) in a life that follows His guidance?
Who in this world can truly give freedom (자유(自由)) from a life that is suppressed (억압(抑壓)) or bound in darkness (어둠) and bring it into the light?
Receiving this morning sunlight, I express my reverence (경외(敬畏)) to God, who created the great luminary ‘sun’ (해) and the small luminary ‘moon’ (달), and I pray (간구(懇求)) that He will guide me to the path of true life and light.

Seeing the emotion that one might casually overlook, and even seeing the sunlight that shines down every day, the professor who comes up with poetic ideas is truly a poet (시인(詩人)).^^
Some people write poetry even when looking at shoes,
Much more so, connecting it to the word of God, considering everything as grace, revealing the shortcomings of human nature (인간(人間) 본성(本性)), and enjoying peace (안식(安息)) in the Lord with repentance (회개(悔改))...isn't this praise (찬양(讚揚))?
