01The Deep
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Before God makes, there is nothing to make from — no material He did not also speak into being. Creation is not God shaping what was already lying there. It is God speaking where there was nothing at all.
The parts of your life that feel formless and empty are not outside His range. They are the conditions He has worked in before, and the ones He chose to start from.
John 1:3
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Hebrews 11:3
The universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Psalm 33:9
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
