Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. (Gen. 1:3-5)
So God first created light.
Then he removed the light from the darkness.
Then he called the light Day and the darkness Night.
The sequence was: creation → subtraction → naming
If we're struggling with naming, is it because we missed the step of subtracting?
Can removing, dividing, or subtracting something from your work help you better see what it is, and therefore reveal what it should be named?
