ReflectionReflecting on eternal truths
In the beginning, God created. These words establish the foundation of all reality - God exists eternally and independently, and everything else exists because He willed it into being. The Hebrew "bara" (create) is used exclusively of divine activity. This is not reshaping existing matter, but calling existence from nothing. What a God we serve!

"And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Before anything else, the Spirit was present and active! This same Spirit that brought order from chaos, light from darkness, is available to you today. He still hovers over the formless places in our lives, ready to bring forth new creation. Let Him move in your situation today!
