I
thought I’d go back to the beginning, Genesis 1, and find encouragement and
faith from the God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it.
After all, when we lose sight of who it is that created all we see and are, we
then start believing lies about who he is and who we are.
Genesis
1 says,
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.
I love that God
begins his love letters to us with creation.
And he encourages us by informing us that he was hovering over that
which was formless, empty, and dark…about to create something with magnificent
splendor, full of color and glory, and place a light that would illuminate it
all!
When we fail
to establish the foundation of who God is – our Creator – we start down a
slippery path of finding fault with all that he’s made and with the very nature
of who we are – made in his image. And
that leads to all sorts of problems like depression, anxiety, and self-hate.
God was there
in the beginning hovering…moving and creating…and He’s the same God now that he
was then.
Let him begin
a new creation in you by your choosing to respond to the Creator of all things
good – including you.
