Kerusso Daily Devotional - In The Beginning

It sounds like the beginning of a Stanley Kubrick movie.

A mass of matter—rock, dust, water—is swirling all around. Everything is mixed up. And nothing can really be seen because there is darkness everywhere!

This of course is the beginning of the Bible, in Genesis. The creation of the world is being described. It all begins with chaos.

But, the Spirit of God is hovering over the water.

John 8:12 says, "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”

We are told elsewhere in Scripture that God the Father gave Jesus the task of actually creating everything. It’s no wonder then that it was His light that suddenly appeared, taking away the darkness and chaos. In time, order was brought and the beauty of a new world shined like an emerald.

Is your world dark and chaotic today? If it is, stop what you’re doing and get to a quiet place. Tell Jesus the darkness is consuming you. As God’s Word tells us, He will come to you where you are.

He will throw open the windows in your life and let in the light!

Let’s pray. Lord, thank you for the beautiful world you made for us! Help us share your Light in a dark world. Amen.
