face of the waters.

THE GOD OF
ORDER
2 The earth was complete chaos, and darkness
covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the
face of the waters. Genesis 1:2 (NRSVUE)
Today's
Scripture & Insight:
Genesis
1:1-10
Seth took all the medications he could find in
the medicine cabinet. Raised in a family filled with brokenness and disorder,
his life was a mess. His mom was regularly abused by his father until his dad
took his own life. Now Seth wanted to “just end” his own. But then a thought
came to mind, “Where do I go when I die?”
By God’s grace, Seth didn’t die that day. And in time, after studying the Bible
with a friend, he received Jesus as his Savior. Part of what drew Seth to God
was seeing the beauty and order in creation. He said, “I…see things that are
just beautiful. Someone made all of this.”
In Genesis 1, we read of the God who indeed
created all things. And although “the earth was complete chaos” (v. 2 NRSVUE),
He brought order out of disorder.
He
“separated the light from the darkness” (verse
Gen. 1:4 – see below), placed land amid the seas (verse 10), and made plants and creatures according to their
“kinds” (verses 11-12, 21, 24-25). The
One who “created the heavens and earth and put everything in place” (verse Isaiah 45:18 NLT – see below)
continues to, as Seth discovered, bring peace and order to lives surrendered to
Christ.
Life can be chaotic and challenging.
Praise God that He’s not “a God of disorder but of peace” (verse 1st Corinthians 14:33 NLT – see below). Let’s
call out to Him today and ask Him to help us find the beauty and order He alone
provides.
