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

Before there was light, there was God.

Before there was a sunrise, a mountain, a river, or a single heartbeat, there was God.

Genesis does not begin with confusion. It does not begin with chaos winning. It does not begin with darkness having the final word.

It begins with God.

That simple truth settles a lot of questions in life.

When life feels uncertain…

When the future feels unclear…

When the world seems loud and unstable…

Remember this: God was there before it all started.

Nothing catches Him by surprise. Nothing appears on the horizon that He has not already seen. Nothing unfolds that He cannot handle.

Think about it.

The same God who spoke galaxies into existence with a word…

The same God who hung the stars in the sky like lanterns in the night…

The same God who designed oceans, mountains, and the breath in your lungs…

That God is still God today.

And if He was powerful enough to create the universe from nothing, He is powerful enough to handle whatever you are facing.

Genesis 1:1 is more than a history lesson.

It is a reminder.

Your story does not begin with your problems.

Your story does not begin with your fears.

Your story begins where all things begin:

With God.

And when God is at the beginning, He will also be at the middle and the end.

So take a deep breath today.

The God who created everything…

Is still holding everything together.

And that includes you.
