"In the beginning, God created." Those words are amazing. God could have just been sitting around, hanging out, and doing whatever God did before God created. And then God created. Why did God create? Was God bored? Was God lonely? Or was God imagining and wanted to bring that imagination to fruition? Was God ready to build, construct, mold, shape, form, and invent? Did God know what would happen after this creative process took place, where amazing things came out of the chaos, out of the void, out of nothingness?
As we experience the start of a new year, picture the time like a blank canvas stretched out before you. What will you create in this void? Remember that it was out of the void, out of chaos, that God created the earth and the seas and the birds and the snakes and us. God was so creative in wanting to know our experiences, how we live, what we feel, and what we do, that God came to us in the person of Christ. When I think of what Christ did for you and for me and for creation, reconciling us to God, forgiving us our sins, dying and rising, that amazement and wonder is amplified. Not only did God create; God wanted and continues to want to be a part of creation, beside and in and through you and me.
