God Creates
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis 1:1-2
Hovering. Wow. Can you imagine the Spirit of God hovering? I always try to imagine it when I listen to this song, but I’m sure I don’t do it justice in my mind. When God set out to create the earth, He started with something formless and empty and this is very much how He finds us. Then, just as in the beginning, the Lord of all creation speaks and light enters our life. He speaks again, and the sky over our heads is formed. Once more - water and dry land.
The creativity of God is really quite amazing. Everyday, the Lord undertakes the task of forming and speaking life into our formless and empty hearts. As the earth came alive, our hearts begin to beat again with love. God is still creating. God is still speaking light into the world.
God created… God creates.
- How do you identify with the Creation story?
- Is this just as real in your life or have you yet to begin formation in Christ?
- Empty. Would that describe you?
- Light. How has God brought light into you?
I know God is still creating new things in me every day. My hope & prayer is that God continues to form me to be more like him every day!

…Many Christians are doing their own thing, trying to live a life without Jesus, without even taking to him now often too.. Jesus himself hath said without me you can do nothing.. nothing!!!
