Today, as we continue in Gary Permenter's Rise devotional, we read Genesis 1. We will be reading Genesis 2 in the days ahead. Notice a couple of matters as you read:
It All Came From God.
Nothing existed. God spoke and it was. The emphasis of creation is God.
He brings order to chaos.
The 'without form and void' that is spoken of in Genesis 1.2 is speaking of chaos. Even the 'expanse' and 'waters' that the earth is formed from speaks of chaos. However, God speaks and order comes from chaos. Notice everything He made was made 'according to its kind'. It was not haphazard. It was not an explosion. He speaks and it exists.
He does not leave us alone.
Humans were made to be in relationship with the Lord. He also gave us the opportunity for mutual companionship, so that we would not feel alone. However, we are never alone for He is always there.
The other message is how that applies to us.
All comes from God. Look to Him. He will provide.
Let Him speak to your heart and life. He will bring order to your chaos. Hear His Voice.
Jesus promises us that He will not leave us alone. He will come to us. Rest in never being alone.
