Genesis 1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And
the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And
God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness.
5 And
God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and
the morning were the first day.
============
When I read this
passage, I notice “In the beginning GOD.” “In the beginning of what?” I ask. In
the beginning of our relationship with GOD. This eternal being revealed how humanity
began to HIS servant Moses, who wrote Genesis.
My Observations:
- GOD subtly shows HIS power by simply speaking Light into existence.
- “GOD created” shows HIS complexity and authority.
- GOD thought of outer space, the earth and waters and was very pleased to create light specifically for humans.
Excitement is what
I read when I see this passage. I see GOD excited for humanity and making
special things that would bring life. I see that HE was pleased with HIS
creation. I can’t help thinking that GOD is saying to HIMSELF “They are really
going to like this!” or “They really will need this!” Either way, I can see a
loving, caring GOD who is creative and powerful.
Challenge
- Why does GOD start HIS dictation to Moses with the creation?
- Can you hear how pleased GOD was to make something for humans that HE did not need for HIMSELF?
- How can you mimic GOD, by using creativity and being pleased with HIS power and HIS provision of light today?
