By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

~Psalm 33:6 NIV

Fresh Start

It was a new beginning, but before the beginning, darkness filled the silent, lonely space.

Looking out into the vast chasm of nothingness, void of purpose and companionship, God the Creator imagined, considered, and dreamed of all the possibilities of what He could make.

Then, He made a choice and got to work, plotting and planning. He began to make something out of nothing, creating the universe with His words. He spoke, “Let there be,” and there it was.

Creation’s Birth

Light burst forth. Stars hung in the sky. Planets circled the earth. Land formed into mountains, hills, and plains. Water poured into seas, rivers, and lakes. Plants grew. Clouds made shapes, snow, and rain. The wind whispered and wailed. The sun shone brightly during the day, and so did the moon at night. Animals came alive. Humans did, too.

Nature stood marked with the Maker’s fingerprints of purpose on every square inch of the world. Then, the Creator gazed at what He made and loved what He saw, for it was beautiful.

God’s Powerful Words

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

~Genesis 1:1 NIV

All of creation is a product of God’s powerful words. He created all things according to His greatness, goodness, and wisdom to display His awesome wonder perfectly. Each time He speaks, what He commands is manifested.

Not only did God’s words have the power to create the universe at the beginning of time, but they also have the power to transform and redirect our lives when we need a new beginning.

A New Start

Amid our darkness, emptiness, and isolation, God can revive, encourage, and direct us onto a path that breathes new life and purpose into our weary souls. 

If you need a fresh experience of God’s grace, love, and empowerment, the same God who made you and everything in the universe is looking down from heaven today and observing your life. Ask Him to speak something new into you. Then, partner with Him and watch His powerful words manifest the goodness and beauty He desires for your fresh start. 

In what areas do you need a new start?

Thank You, Lord God, for giving me new life in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
