God’s awesome Creation

“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters…” 
Book of Genesis Chapter 1, verse 2 (NIV)


This is the second verse in the first book and the first chapter of the Bible. The imagery is very vivid and daunting, and, simultaneously, exciting.  This is a pivotal moment in time.  Humanity was still a thought. Everything that was eventually created on earth was hanging in the breath of our Creator. 

"God’s awesome Creation" is a term or tag line I have been using to underscore my belief.  I believe that God, our Creator, formed and enabled everything on earth, above the earth and below the earth. Everything! wherever it resides.  

Over the last few years I have been intentionally exploring nature.  My focus has been, primarily, plant life, birds and animals, the sky, bodies of water, parks and areas in society that promote peace and harmony.  Creation, all of creation, as we experience it daily, is not always peaceful, harmonious or pleasant.  

Look at the quick demise of Adam and Eve’s offspring, Cain and Able.   Humanity without the intervention of God is hopeless! We have choice and therefore we need guidance.  We need our source.  We need Our Creator’s grace, and most of all love, to exist in an abundant life.  To exist is full of God given grace and to exist in abundance is to have a relationship with our Creator.  

Through God, who is Spirit, we achieve a better understanding of ourselves.  We can build a relationship with God by meditating, praying, scripture centered reading, experiencing dialogue inspired by the Spirit of God, seeking and exploring the knowledge of God, learning and teaching the word of God, Listening to the Holy Spirit and much more.  There are so many ways our loving Abba, Father, provides for communication and relationship with Him.  
 
In the midst of any chaos in our lives or the world at large, our God is still creating and making things new.  We are all God’s awesome Creation.
