The Beginning

In the beginning, God

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning, the earth was dark, there was nothing except chaos, and there was God.

He was the God who spoke and created light, and stars, and trees, and flowers, and animals, and people. He was the One who made beauty from the nothing, beauty from the chaos.

He is the Creator, the God who sees beginnings where anyone else would only see darkness, chaos, and an end.

And He is still the same today.

Where we are chaos, darkness, and no chance for anything else, He sees a beginning, a chance for redemption, a blank canvas to create something beautiful.

Your life may look dark. Your circumstance may be in complete chaos. Maybe you’ve prayed the same prayer so many times that you see no chance for change.

God is the Alpha and Omega. He’s the God of the ending, yes, but He’s also the God of the beginning.

No matter how dark it gets. No matter how chaotic it feels. Keep waiting. Keep praying. Keep listening for the God of the beginning to speak light and life into the place you thought was hopeless.
