In the Beginning

By Paula Wiseman

In the Beginning title graphic wit ha dramatic spacescape

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. – Genesis 1:1

First words.
First actions.
First light breaking through darkness.
Before anything else existed, God was already there.

The canvas blank,
The void empty,
Until His voice echoed across nothingness
And something answered back.

We often rush past these opening words,
Eager to get to our part of the story.
But pause here with me.
Feel the weight of this moment.

Everything we know,
Everything we see,
Everything we are,
Began with God’s creative word.

And in your life today
Your blank pages,
Your empty spaces,
Your waiting darkness
God is still creating.

He who spoke galaxies into existence
Is speaking purpose into your Monday,
Your week, your year.

Your story doesn’t begin with you.
It begins with Him.
