1 of 365 - In the Beginning

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2
 
In the beginning, God created…
 
The first two things we learn about God is that He has always been here and He is a Creator.
 
Before anything, God was here. Before atoms, dust, land, sky, water, stars, animals, humans... before it all, God was here.
 
The ways the things of the world are connected and work together is orderly and extensive. Creation is rich with intricate details, textures, colors, and smells. God is a creative Creator.
 
How would you decide what color something should be when there were no colors? Or what shape something would be when there was no form? Or what its purpose would be? How did God create everything from nothing?
 
God said, “Let there be…” (Genesis 1:3). God SPOKE things into existence. He imagined it, and with His WORD it was formed. Nothing is by accident.
 
What God says happens! His Word is powerful! This is a truth we can count on always.
 
If God can create beauty, form, and purpose out of nothing, He can create beauty and purpose out of even our messes and mistakes. He is the master Creator. Nothing is too big or too impossible for the Creator of all things who has always been and will always be.
 
Questions: Have you ever given thought to how everything was created or how something can be created out of nothing? What are some of the most creative aspects of God you see in the world around you? What do you think about the power of God’s Word?
