God Said ... And it was so ...

God Said...And it Was So
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.
And God said,
"Let there be light,"
and there was light.
God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night."
And there was evening, and there was morning~ ~the first day.
And God said,
"Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water."
So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it.
And it was so.
God called the expanse "sky."
And there was evening, and there was morning~ ~the second day.
And God said,
"Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear."
And it was so.
God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas."
And God saw that it was good.
Then God said,
"Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds."
And it was so.
Genesis 1
I've been thinking a lot about God lately...more so than usual. In these troubled days that surround me there is great, great comfort for my soul and my spirit in reading anew about God...from the beginning.
Knowing and believing that He, God said it...and...it was so, allows be to lay my head down at night and receive His rest.
Dear one, whatever it is you're doubting, about your Redeemer today, I encourage you to stand fast; don't lose heart; draw near to Him and listen for His voice.
He said he will never leave you or forsake you...and it-is-so!!
Selah......
