Then God said, 

"Let there be 

an expanse 

between the waters, separating water 

from water."

So God made 

the expanse 

and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. 

And it was so.

Genesis 1:6-7 CSB

There's a lot going on here with water and dividing water and creating some kind of space.

Is this the space, the atmosphere that we live in now with the right amount of oxygen for life and all that?

God called the expanse "sky".

Evening came 

and then morning: 

the second day.

Genesis 1:7-8 CSB

Does it seem mysterious to you?

Big things are happening, God is speaking things into existence, the universe is being shaped by his voice, in stanza's, in movements, like a poem, a song, a symphony that is written and held in the mind of the composer and now being expressed into "being".

This same God who invites us in, welcomes us as dearly loved children, who knows your name, is speaking stuff into being.
