"GOD CAN CREATE SOMETHING FROM YOUR NOTHING"

Genesis 1:1-2: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

I want to encourage you this week that as you read this, also read all of Genesis chapter 1. For probably almost everyone reading this, Genesis chapter 1 is very familiar. Many times we read it without really thinking about it and letting it sink in. What I want to do this week is relate Genesis chapter 1 to your life.

If you examine this chapter you find that God created everything from nothing. Verse two says the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. There was no food, no animals, no plants, or no people on the earth. Everything He created, He had to create from nothing and all it took was for him to speak and it happened. The question I have for you and for myself is, Why do we question the God who created something from nothing? I think if every one of us are honest we can say that we have all questioned whether or not God can work a miracle in our lives.

Maybe your reading this post and you are believing God for something in your life that could only happen by Him taking action. Are there areas in your life that seem formless and empty? Does it seem like a situation that has no possibility for life to grow from it? Do you have a dream or a vision for your life that seems completely impossible but you know beyond any doubt that your dream and vision is from God? If any of this applies to you I want to encourage you that the God who created this earth and everything we have in it, from nothing, can create something from nothing in your life. This is where faith kicks in, be sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.

If you're hanging onto a dream, don't let go. Every situation around you may seem formless and empty but God loves to create something from nothing. When He does, no one else can take credit. He doesn't wave a magic wand, He doesn't have to come down to earth and visit you in person, all He has to do is speak and things can begin to sprout up in your life. He can speak rivers into your desert places and light into your darkness.

Don't give up, don't give in but look to the God who can create something from your nothing and do not doubt!
