Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Ever feel like your life is formless and void? Ever have those days where it seems like your world has descended back into the primordial chaos from which it was formed? Ever wonder if there is any hope, or if you will spend the rest of your life trying to keep the 4,000 balls you are juggling up in the air?
Have I got good news for you!
We worship a God who creates order out of chaos, even the chaos we create out of our own sin. Whatever the origin of chaos, God speaks into it, and brings order, brings life, creates anew. If we feel everything spinning out of control, sit back, take a deep breath, and remember that God will be faithful to his promises. God will not abandon you to the chaos--God will create anew in your life, and hope will shine in your darkness.
Blessings
