Genesis 1:1 (LSB)
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
It all begins with Genesis 1:1 – God. He is our source, our rock, our Counselor, Guide, but most of all He is our Savior.
There is nothing that is supreme over God, nothing ever will be. I saw an interview with a young man who ascribed himself to being an Agnostic. An agnostic is one who “who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.” I have often wondered as I see a sunrise or sunset as I did Saturday evening that a universe so amazing and beautiful – did not just happen.
Man has attempted to become God but that will always be a futile attempt. Humanity has a will that can be exercised but only within certain limits.
We live a world that is changing daily from wars to rumors of war to worldwide unrest. We see the attack against Israel and wonder if it is the beginning of the end. These things have been with us and will remain. When we get concerned, discouraged, worried remember these words “In the beginning God…”
“Biblical patience is not rooted in fatalism that says everything is out of control, it is rooted in faith that says everything in in God’s control.” John Blanchard.
God Bless.
