It is the eve of a beginning. The beginning of the year 2013.
The year ahead is not certain. But it is certain that the days we have ahead of us are yet to be written. Choices are yet to be made. One choice at a time, one moment at a time.
"In the beginning.....God created..." (Genesis 1:1)
We certainly are not gods, and we don't have the supernatural creative power of God, but we have power. We have the power of our own choices, power of our own will.
"In the beginning" of 2013, our future is "..formless and empty.."(Gen. 1:2)
The Spirit of God is still '..hovering". (Gen. 1:2)
God's Spirit was actively involved in the beginning. God's care and protection is still active. He is the same now as in the beginning. He was sovereign 'in the beginning' and He is sovereign now.
"When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground."(Psalm 104:30)
"....if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.... as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)
It is a beginning. In 2013, may we all find ourselves hovered over by our Creator God, creating and bring new life into the deep dark places, bringing life and light.....
He is able.
Happy New Year
