---ORDER AND BEAUTY~

--"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 1:1-2 / NIV)--

---The creation account in Genesis stirs my imagination about God, the world He created, and His relationship with me. A dark, formless, and empty place was brought into order and beauty and usefulness by the intelligence and creativity of God and the sheer authority of His will to bring His plan to fruition. It’s very humbling to realize that the same Spirit of God that was present before time began lives within me and wants to empower me today. I’m filled with gratitude that the same power that brought order and beauty out of chaos is available to bring order and beauty out of the difficult situations of my life. Life is more complicated than we would like. When it seems confusing and chaotic, ask the Lord for a fresh vision of His ability to create something beautiful and a fresh filling of His Holy Spirit to guide you through.

**THINK ABOUT IT**
The Holy Spirit’s power to bring peace and order where there is confused disorder can transform you from being one who is overwhelmed by challenges to being one who overwhelmingly conquers (Romans 8:37). You have Someone who can and wants to help.

**PRAYER**
--"Heavenly Father, You bring order and beauty to my life’s story. Holy Spirit, I invite You in to quell the confusion and restore peace here, specifically ___________. Thank You for the grace to conquer my challenges and not be overwhelmed. In Jesus’ name, amen."
