God
My reading today is Genesis 1. Wow! What a big and overwhelming message to absorb. Order out of chaos. Light out of darkness. Beauty out of void. Life out of dirt. Relationship out of nothingness. Morning and evening and day.
God spoke. God saw. God said … it was very good.
//Inspiration: Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
//Incarnation: My take on what this means for me
In the beginning God … How do I understand something, Someone, who is bigger than the universe and older than … well to be honest, not older than, but existed before … any beginning?
Eternal is beyond my comprehension. I’m so time-locked and time-conditioned and time-conscious that my little head hurts when I think of existence before a beginning and after an end.
I am reminded of how small I am and that my significance is bound up not in what I do in my colony on this tiny blue planet in the middle of a universe I cannot fathom. Instead, my significance if found in connecting to the one who is Alpha and Omega, who has no beginning and end. He chooses to know me and care for me and love me. So I choose to honor Him and find my life in Him.
//Invitation:
O Unfathomable God, thank you for Your vastness that is beyond my comprehension, your nearness that draws me to you, and Your love that defines my life and gives it purpose. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
