Genesis 1:1 unapologetically declares, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” After reading this single passage of text, I would like for each of us to pause for a moment and look around…WHOA…the beauty of a sunrise, the symmetry in a leaf, the order of the seasons, and the precise way the universe functions—all point to a Creator. As humans, we’re continually drawn to beauty, harmony, and purpose. But where does this desire for order and meaning come from? If we reflect on the complexity of creation, we see how incredible it is that life exists with such purpose and precision.
My brothers and sisters, the point of today’s brief word of encouragement is to point out that non-existence cannot produce existence. This means that something greater, something eternal, must have initiated it all. Similarly, chaos alone does not create order. Behind the intricate design of nature and the universe, there is an Orchestrator—a loving God who not only created but sustains everything in perfect balance.
Undoubtedly, sometimes we face moments of confusion or feel surrounded by chaos, questioning if there is any order or purpose in our lives. In those times, remember that the same God who brought light out of darkness can bring peace and clarity to our hearts. He has woven order and purpose into creation and into our lives.
Unequivocally, God is the Source of all existence and the Author of order. He is with us in every moment, guiding us towards His purpose.
Pray with me:
Father God, thank You for being the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Help us all to recognize Your handiwork in the world around us and to feel Your peace amid life’s chaos. Remind us that our lives hold meaning and purpose, and that You are always near, bringing order and beauty from confusion. Open the eyes of our hearts and strengthen our faith, so that we may see You as You truly are and trust fully in Your presence and Your plan. In Jesus’ name, amen!
