In The Beginning…

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” And that is what happened. God made the space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day. Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.” Genesis 1:1-9

STOP! Close your eyes and LISTEN! Do you hear it? The air moving around you, the trees swaying, the roar of planes overhead, the distant train whistles, the ticking of the clock on the wall, the ring of your cell phone, the rush of leaves scraping the concrete are the sounds you experience. Every object and being that surrounds you can attest to the creation of the world. God’s fingerprints are all around you.
