#Wordfortheweek 2019 Week 38 Knock, Knock who is there?

“The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2 NKJV

One of the most unpredictable things in life is life itself. The past is known with certainty because we have lived it but no one can predict the future except God. Many times, in life we go through challenging times that seeing the end of it looks just impossible.

After God created heaven and earth, the latter was full of darkness. There is something about darkness that make us relate with it as the opposite of good and light. It is in darkness there is no vision - you can’t see. Evil people like to operate under the cover of darkness. Darkness brings gloom and doom. Pain and sorrow brings darkness.

In the passage above, we read how irrespective of the darkness, the spirit of God was still in operation, hovering over, aware and seeing it all. This is uplifting for us as children of the Almighty. Having this consciousness that God is there gives you the strength to see Him even in darkness.

A sermon on this passage was preached by one of my spiritual mentors and it got me. It really got me because in pain it can be difficult to feel the presence of God. But He is there. Even though there is no light, yet He is present.

Are you going through some challenging times now? Is it so dark you can’t even grope your way through? Remember the darkness on the face of the deep, yet the Spirit of God was hovering. He is hovering over you, take courage and lean in and reach up and feel Him. He is there. He has promised He will not let you suffer beyond what you can endure.

He is there.

#Prayerfortheweek
Almighty Father, thank You because You are always there. Help me Lord to keep my focus on You even in the darkest hours of life. In the name of Yeshua Christ Jesus. Amen.

I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Spend this week to meditate on the passage and take relevant step to live out your faith.
