"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
Today is the start of the next quarter; hence, our text. "In the beginning God...." The History Channel, Discovery Channel, and the Science Channel were not there. Darwin was not there. The humanist professors poisoning young people were not there. The Living Triune God, all alone, nothingness, eternity------------ just He. Then: "Let there be," and behold, there was. Hey, Allah, try that!
My dear, dear fellow Believer in Jesus Christ. This is all you really need to know today. "In the beginning God, and, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same [Jesus Christ] was in the beginning"-------- with you, watching over you, caring for you, even when you did not acknowledge His Existence, or were aware that at a point in human history He died a horrible, painful, bloody, abandoned death on a cross. And nothing has changed. The same love, mercy, forgiveness, resurrection, creative power, the same willingness and ability to save, keep, and receive you into Glory is still at work----------for you, for the whole world.
"Therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light," because Jesus Christ, the God of Creation, the God of Light, our "Armor of Light," cast off the darkness of the universe. And since He did that, I know He can cast off any darkness in your life today. You and I have no reason for discouragement, no reason for defeat, no reason to walk in darkness. So don't!
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that "I am, that I am" is sending me today. Amen.
