Genesis 1:1
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Every journey starts with a single moment, and God's story begins with creation itself.
In the beginning, there was nothing but God, and from that emptiness, He spoke everything into existence. This verse reminds us that God specializes in creating something beautiful from nothing. Just as He brought order from chaos and light from darkness, He can bring new life to any situation we face.
Apply This Today
Whatever feels empty or chaotic in your life today, invite God to speak His creative word over it and watch Him bring forth something new.
Prayer
Creator God, just as You spoke the universe into being, speak new life into my circumstances. Help me trust that You can create beauty from the chaos I'm facing. Amen.
