He is here

So let’s start with the opening words. He has always been. He specialises in being present.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” (Genesis 1 v 1-2)

Every book, every speech, every journey, every encounter share a common bond. They all had a beginning. Our lives are marked by such moments. We all have beginnings.

Four words that are so powerful, ‘In the beginning God.” Before anything good had been made or bad that destroyed it, He was there.

In the emptiness He was there. In the life-less and the darkness He was there. In the meaningless He was there. In the confusion He was there. Are you getting this? How often we find ourselves in these places. For a whole variety of difficult situations we can be struggling for understanding and trying to find a way out from the chaos.

Before the Bible goes any further here it is, the message that will continue throughout its pages, even in the chaos, we are not abandoned, for He is here.

What is He doing? What He will continue to do throughout history to come. His Spirit will hover over our chaotic state. He has always done that, from the beginning. The Holy Spirit was hovering and the greatest creative, explosive, divinely empowered act took place and He has continued to hover even now, today, with you.

You may be feeling alone but you are not. The Spirit hovers with us, preparing the way for something new, for a creation to take place.

The Spirit hovers over every dark recess in our lives and He does with intention to bring change. You see, God is still creating because He is still hovering. He is still here.
