The Sunday school lesson material begins with a new series next week. The next quarter is the book of Genesis. I love Genesis. Since the new year is looming, I’m setting a new goal to study Genesis and journal along the way. Why wait to begin next Sunday or January 1st? “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 NASB Beginning…a starting place. Genesis tells us God’s story. Creation entered the eternal existence of our Creator God, at His command, and we are in it, but simply because He created us. We had nothing to do with it. As I look again into Genesis, I purpose not to study for more information, but to meet God. I purpose to learn about my Fathers heart, His nature, His character, His purposes. He defines my reality. I do not define His.
“ Spirit of God was hovering…” NIV Genesis 1:1 seems to be a general introduction to what Moses is beginning to write. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Verse 2 continues, “now the earth was formless, and empty.” THAT was about to change! Because the Spirit of God was hovering. The Spirit of God turns what is lifeless and empty into life, beautiful , and with purpose. He still does. Hallelujah.
