“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” -Genesis 1:1 (KJV)

Sometimes the most powerful truths are tucked into the simplest sentences.

Genesis doesn’t start with advice. It doesn’t start with rules. It starts with God.

Before the chaos, before the questions, before the broken pieces of your story, God was already there.

Before light had a switch and oceans had a shoreline, God was creating on purpose.

That means your life didn’t begin with confusion. It began with intention.

I like to think of Genesis 1:1 as a front-porch reminder for weary hearts. When life feels undone, when your plans feel scattered like tools left out in the yard after a long day, Scripture whispers, “God still creates.”

He creates order out of chaos.

Hope out of darkness. Purpose out of what looks empty.

And if God can speak galaxies into place, He can surely handle what’s weighing on you today.

So take a breath. Rock back a little. The same God who began it all is still at work and He hasn’t lost His touch.

Friend, this is not the end of your story. It’s just another beginning in the hands of a Creator who knows exactly what He’s doing.
