“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the abyss; and the Spirit of God was hovering on the waters. God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good. "" (Genesis 1:1-4)
Our most urgent need today is to truly know ourselves in the presence of God through the light He has given us. Recognize your limitations and ignorance.
Obviously, even the original chaotic and dark planet was not created by human hands. It was God who created it.
Although many of us have believed in the Lord for many years, their lives are still in a kind of empty and chaotic darkness.
It is a state of life that is not fundamentally different from that of the rest of the world. Busy and chasing like the rest of the world. There is no time to look to the Kingdom of God, nor to seek the righteousness of Christ. In the final analysis, his eyes were the same as before he believed in the Lord, only focusing on the world he could see and never really focusing on heavenly things.
At this moment, please think calmly, are you living in this state now?
When people’s minds only focus on immediate gains and losses, they will naturally be attracted by it. Then our hearts will become moody and confused.
Through hard work and hard work, you may have some success and gain in the short term. But after you have traveled a long journey and are exhausted both physically and mentally, you will suddenly look back and you will find that those days when you did not walk in God’s will were just virtual time. Your soul cannot find true peace from it.
There is no one who does not desire the real thing. Isn't it that what people are pursuing day and night when they are busy and busy is a kind of beauty and tranquility? The yearning for beautiful things and a peaceful life is innate in people. Who doesn’t desire to live a life that is valuable, meaningful, and has a future?
But the question is, even if we know what beautiful things are and what a valuable life is, what can we do? We find that, no matter what, we can never really seem to have it—and that’s what’s confusing and distressing.
Opening the Bible, what do you think when we read on the first page: “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light”? This is so wonderful. No one else in the world can do it except God. , we think less and pay less attention, so we believe less.
In fact, the earliest book written in the Bible is not Genesis, but the Book of Job. In the Book of Job, God answers many of the world’s confusions about the universe and life, and reveals the truth about the struggle between good and evil.
So why is the Book of Job not considered the first book of the Bible? Putting aside the narrative logic of the Bible, I think there is more God’s good intention in this. He hopes that when people open the Bible, they will see light, see beauty, see powerful creation, and then see hope when they first open the Bible!
Rather than saying that each of us is constantly pursuing light, beautiful things and real life in life, it is better to say that we are trying to use our own strength and wisdom to create light and create Beautiful, create life. But the result is darkness, confusion, and exhaustion.
Why is this? Because neither you nor I are the Creator. This is a fact we must acknowledge.
Every night, we are very tired and exhausted. But every morning, we are “resurrected with full blood.” We are always unwilling to give in. We always feel that since we know how to live, we will definitely be able to achieve it through hard work. We believe too much in ourselves and what we see. You believe that hard work will lead to results, but you are wrong.
There are thousands of intricate roads in the world, and there are thousands of crossroads and thousands of traps. Satan has already set up a enchantment trap, just waiting for the lost but confident souls to come and cast themselves into the trap.
Life is not created, but walked out. How to go? It's a dark road with no light. The harder you run, the easier it is to fall into a pit. There is no doubt that those who rely on themselves can only be manipulated by Satan.
To this day we still cannot understand how God accomplished "if there was light, there was light". This is the power of God and cannot be fathomed or touched by human wisdom. Even so, this verse is still a flash of lightning calling us to draw closer to the light.
We are honored, but also unfortunate.
We have come to know Jesus, but we are still seeking and struggling through our own efforts. As everyone knows, a life that does not truly obey the guidance of God, even if it is labeled as a Christian, is still walking in chaos and darkness.
John 1:4-5 says: "In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness did not receive the light."
Every The first time I read this verse, I felt a strong impulse in my heart.
I really want to open the window, run to the street, raise the loudspeaker, and shout to those souls who are doing nothing but solemn faces: "Friends, stop, stop, stop, stop running around!" Come and see, there is light here, there is real light, the light of God!”
Dear friend, if you feel confused and helpless about your current life, don’t be sad. Please take some time to read the first chapter of Genesis and appreciate God’s powerful creation and the beauty of the original world.
Since God can use the words of his mouth to create a beautiful world, can he also use the words of his mouth to create a beautiful life for you and me?
I believe he can!
So, friend, from now on, entrust all your desires and dreams, all things now and in the future, to the Lord who created heaven and earth! Believe firmly in Him and continue to trust Him. Call on Him persistently and wait patiently for Him! In this way, everything will become beautiful.
This is not some reasoning or a bet, this is a miracle, the fruit of faith.
Jehovah is the true God and love. He understands your needs and listens to you. He is the Lord of heaven and earth who never breaks his word. His deeds have not changed since ancient times. The Bible says: "The young lions still lack food and suffer hunger, but whoever seeks the Lord will lack no good thing." (Psalm 34:10)
Finally, here is a passage for you , please read it carefully:
?“Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will do it for you.
"?(Bible·Psalm?37:5)
