"And the Gods organized the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; with the lesser light they set the stars also;
And the Gods set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to cause to divide the light from the darkness.
And the Gods watched those things which they had ordered until they obeyed."
Abraham 4:16-18
I think it is interesting that in this version of the creation story, the heavens were "organized and formed" (verse 1), and even though it says that some things were set, it's like they were set in a spiritual pattern ahead of the physical reality... like instructions were given out, and then God just followed through and made sure that everyone did their jobs, making sure the stars knew where to go, etc. :)
I obviously don't know the details, but it's cool to think about the idea of all things working together for good, and that same thing could have been happening here. God can command the elements, so why not the stars? ... Today, let's take some time to think about God's power and the reason that we exist, and maybe talk to God about it. We are all here for a reason, and we can make a difference wherever we are. And God will watch, and watch over, us until we learn, and do.
