Out of Chaos




VERSE:
  The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep
waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the
waters.

THOUGHT:
  In the very first chapter of the Bible, we are taken to the
chaos before time began. In the formless and dark void prior to the
completion of creation, we find the Spirit of God hovering over the
chaos waiting for God to speak his creative word. This creative
word set the power of the Spirit into creative work, ordering and
making our universe and our world within it. Yet isn't it so sadly
ironic that in the chaos of our lives we so seldom cry out to God
and ask for his Holy Spirit to come into our lives and bring the
Lord's creative order? Let's ask for God's Spirit, hovering above
our messes, to enter into our world and lead us to where we need to
be and to bring the Father the glory he deserves!

PRAYER:
  O Sovereign God, I confess that I cannot order and control my
life. I surrender to your grace and ask for your Holy Spirit to
enter my world and bring your gracious and creative order and form
your holy character and compassion in me. In the name of your Son
and my Savior, I pray. Amen.
