A new beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

—Genesis 1:1

It’s a new year. 

I arrived at work late this morning because I took my youngest to the airport so he could return to military duty at Fort Gordon, GA.

Someone on the flight gave up their first class seat to thank him for his service. 

It’s hard, being a mom, letting go of the young.

I wonder if this is how God feels, letting go of us?

I mean we are His, but we are also creatures of the earth.

Yes, we are much more, but occasionally we need to be reminded that we are simple creatures.

We can't truly understand existence before time, yet before the beginning of time as we know it, God existed — He has revealed Himself as "I Am," the One who was and who is and who is to come. Before there was an ordered universe to provide the basis of our existence, God is "I Am."

He had existence before, beyond, and without our created universe.

We can't even truly comprehend this in its entirety.

That's why every new beginning — whether it is a day, a week, a year, or a millennium — should begin with God.

He alone is the ultimate Genesis, our beginning.

Have a blessed day!
