“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, God already was, for He has always been and always will be. As Moses wrote of God in Psalm 90:2, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” God is eternal, without beginning and without end. And note that the Holy Spirit of God “was hovering over the face of the waters,” for the Holy Spirit, too, is eternal.
O eternal God, my Creator, grant that I honor and revere You for who You are, the almighty God who was and is and ever shall be. Amen.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
Creation is a foundational truth to Christianity. All that is taught in the Bible hinges upon it. If God did not create the heavens and the earth and all things as the Scriptures teach, there would be no need to heed the Bible’s message; but if He did create all things and give us life, not to heed the Bible’s message, repent and look to Christ Jesus in faith for forgiveness will bring God’s eternal wrath and punishment.
Grant that I believe Your Word, O God, repent of my sins and look to Christ Jesus and His atoning sacrifice for pardon and forgiveness. In His name, I pray. Amen.
