As the earth turns around in space and orbits the sun, we have a shadow created by the opposite side of the erath being in the shade this is called night and it is dar. On the other side we have the sun shining in the day and this is a matter of a 360 degreee revolution every 24 hours. Through the cource of the day and night we have hourly intervals of 60 minute time periods, depending on where you are on the planet and what time of the hour it is of the night or day. This creates meaning and interest as we also have seasons and North and South hemispheres every three months and again depending on where you are and what time of the year you are in.

This is also relevant because as the night is dark and the day is bright, so to do we have clouds that drift on and in and past above our heads to create shade once again and also rain and hale or snow depending on your altitude and regional geography being closer to the poles which are at the top and bottonm of the earth and are defined by the equater around the middle of the planet and also the tropics of cancer (north) and Capricorn (south) middle distance between the poles and equater. So we have day to do our work and night to sleep and also a grey period of dusk and dawn when the sun sets and rises. So through the day we eat work and play and enjoy and entrertain ourselves and in the night we rest, recoperate and revitalise our bodies from the days work.

This all may well seem just like common sense to you but it is not until you put it all down in writing and look at it in a logical perspective, that you can relate to the creation of the world in a world wind time period and see the picture of what we all do on an indvidual basis in our own time and circumstances of day and night. For it easy to lose perspective if you live in America and move to Australia and have a 16 hour time difference from where you lived before and that works both ways. It is easy because of the mass and scale of the earth to forget where we have been in our travels and unless we read to keep things on mind then we start to lose those valuable memories of where we have been by journalling or trying to remember to recall from memory. So day and night can play tricks on our mind if we will let them especially if you are travelling quickly by plane and you do so a lot by being in a lot of different destinations all the time.

Most of us are happy to sit at home and work, rest and play, just doing what you need to do to stay alive. So there you have it, a pretty clear picture of what the day and night mean on a large scale and it is not untill we put things in our own personal persepctive and go outside in the night and look up to see the stars to see the awesomeness of God the creator. Or when we take a walk along the beach in the day and the sun shines bright and relfects off the sand and the water to to give us some idea of Gods heavenly paradise. All is left to do and say is to have some time to eat from the crops and herds the farmers tend and for this we need seasonal rain. God is in control of that to even when there is droughts and floods. Please enjoy.
