“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1
Before there were stars to shine or seas to roar, before birds sang or flowers bloomed, there was God. Eternally self-existent, almighty, and holy. The Bible begins not with a philosophical debate or a scientific thesis, but with a declaration:
“In the beginning God…”
These four words shape our view of everything – origin, purpose, order, and destiny.
The story of creation is not just about how the world came to be; it’s about who made it and why. As we journey through the seven days of creation, we will not only witness the unfolding of light, land, life, and labor, but we will encounter the heart of a God who delights in bringing order out of chaos and beauty out of barrenness.
Each day of creation reveals more than just a chronological sequence—it reveals divine intention. God speaks, and it is so. He divides, gathers, names, blesses, and finishes with the joy of rest. These patterns are not arbitrary; they are foundational. They mirror spiritual truths we need today; truths about identity, purpose, rhythm, and rest. They teach us that we serve a God of wisdom, power, and precision.
As you read and reflect through this series, let your heart be drawn not only to the grandeur of God’s world but to the greatness of God Himself. Let the vastness of creation stir a greater faith in your heart, and may the God who created all things also create in you a clean heart, renew your mind, and restore your soul.
Let’s begin—in the beginning, God…
