"Then God said, 'Let there be Light,' and there was light." Genesis 1:3 NKJV
Have you ever imagined what it was like prior to God giving this command? Genesis 1:2 tells us that the earth was without form; it was totally empty and dark. But the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. Wherever the Spirit of God is, there is life! Your life may be void, empty and lonely at this time but God's Spirit is looking over the situation, waiting for you to call to Him.
Do you realise that there would have been nothing else on the earth except the Lord Almighty? There wasn't even a weed because weeds hadn't yet come into existence. There was not even a fox barking in the dead of night, eyes glistening. There was nothing, until - LET THERE BE LIGHT, and there was light, and that light exploded through the darkness!
We can be in a situation where there appears to be nothing. Nobody around to be our friend, nobody around to walk or sit with and then, POW, God explodes through the situation and brings life. Let me say one thing, you may be all alone with no one to give you love or be your friend, but Jesus is watching over you and as you call out to Him, He explodes into your very existence, because He loves you.
Notice that the Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters but nothing happened until the Word of God was spoken. God spoke - the Spirit acted. As you call out to Him, He will speak into your situation and changes will be made. Only God can create something out of nothing. You may feel that you have nothing in the whole world, but placed in the hands of the King of kings, you can have everything.
God was walking around the Garden of Eden one day when He suddenly called to Adam, 'Where are you?' (Genesis 3:9). Just imagine that God is calling out to you today, asking the same question, what will be your reply? I believe His reason for asking this question is to get you to consider your spiritual position at the moment. So this could include, 'Are you at peace, are you contented?' or, 'Are you full of fear and anxiety?'
Consider these questions and any others that be flagged up and answer them honestly. Mentally, have you all you need at this time, or is your mind full of turmoil and worry? Only you know the answers to these question, but the Spirit of God is hovering over you waiting for you to respond to what He is asking, 'Where are you?' The answer to this question will determine what type of day you will have today.
