Let God Speak….
Text: Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (NIV)
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. (KJV)
Notably, the Self-Existent God had been before all things, by His spoken Word, He created All, and right from the start, He knows about the earth’s formlessness, emptiness, and the profound gloominess. Despite all the chaos, note that the SPIRIT of God was above all of it; on top, but not submerged by the confusion upon the earth and the deep. Why? because God has power; control; authority; influence over all, He understands the situation and knows exactly what the solution is. And that was why, in verse 3, “…. God said” – by His irresistible Word, He spoke to the situation. First, God declared light to permeate the darkness. By His light, he exposed, stopped the hidden works of darkness that was causing the confusion, and dealt with them a step at a time because our God is a God of order.
Just like the initial conditions of the earth and the deep, do you feel like your life has no meaning anymore (formless)? Do you feel useless/hopeless (empty or void)? Or, you are confused, you are losing confidence in yourself, and you sometimes feel like hiding yourself. Maybe you already suffer withdrawal thinking you are of no good (darkness all over). Please, know that the same Self-Existent God Whose Spirit moved upon the water’s surface without being buried, the One Who organized the confused earth by His Word of authority, is alive and able to do same for you, and He is never too late if you believe. Clearly, God’s Word is Power and when He speaks, nothing can resist His Word (Hebrews 4:12). Just like He understood the earth’s commotion in the beginning and solved the problems by His Word and divine wisdom, He is aware of your dark situations or problems, He is ready to speak to and illuminate your life if you believe.
Prayer:
Oh God, have mercy ne me today, in Jesus name.
Lord, I choose to trust in Your Word to work in my life and situation, in Jesus name.
Like You shined Your light into the darkness upon the waters in the beginning, arise oh Lord, by Your Word of authority, shine Your Light into every dark situation covering my life today, in Jesus name!
Oh God, let the same power of Your Spirit that moved upon the waters, take over, overshadow my life, and empower me to overcome every situation weighing me down (mention the problems), in Jesus name
Oh Lord, by Your divine Word of authority, reform every area of my life that is formless, in Jesus name.
By Your divine Word of authority, oh God, declare fruitfulness upon my life and fill the vacuums of my life to overflowing, with your goodness, in Jesus name.
My Father, by Your Word of authority, declare “order” into every chaotic situation in my life, in Jesus name.
My Father let Your Word prosper in my life, in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you!
