In the Beginning

 Genesis 1 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.

 Sometimes life is a real struggle.  Work. Family. Health. Money. What would you add to the list of things we all struggle with at one time or another?

 God is no stranger to your struggles.  God overcomes chaos with creativity.

 God faced emptiness. Chaos. God’s Spirit “brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.” (Peterson, The Message) Something better could exist where there was now nothing. What did God do next?

 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

 In the struggles you face this day, this week the Spirit broods like a bird with you, hovering over the emptiness in your life, the despair, the uncertainty.

 Pray for our Creator God to give you a new beginning, giving order to the chaos.

 Pray for light.

 May today be the day God creates a way through the struggle and into the light.
