316 Out of Nothing




BIG Life Devotional | Daily Devotional for Women show

Summary: <br> Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”<br> Look around today. God created all this out of nothing.<br> I currently call the country my home. With the absence of street lights and tall city buildings, our night sky is vast and magnificent. All that we can see is our galaxy, but there is so much more. Much, much, much more.<br> Scientists estimate that there are hundreds of billions more galaxies in the universe that we can’t see. Each one of these galaxies has billions of stars which brings the grand total number of stars in the universe to 10 billion trillion. That is 10 followed by 21 zeros. That’s more stars than the number of grains of sand on the Earth.<br> And the size of all of this? Well this blows my mind. The only size I can understand is the size of the Earth. The Earth in comparison to each one of these stars is a tiny dot. We live on this itty bitty dot surrounded by 10 billion trillion ginormous stars.<br> And it all began with NOTHING.<br> If God made this amazing, beautiful universe out of nothing, don’t you think He can take all that you don’t have, all you can’t do, all that isn’t enough, all that is broken, all that is hopeless, and all you’re totally uncertain of and turn it into a BIG Life?<br> Let me speak into the empty places in your life. Where is there a void? Where is there an ache of loneliness or want? Where is something missing? God wants to fill that void for you. Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 says “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.” I believe the Spirit of God is hovering over you at this moment, ready to create in your life. Ready to fill your empty places. Ready to give form to that which you don’t see.<br> God is ready to move in your life. Do you believe that today?<br> Are you ready for God to fill you up? Are you ready for him to create opportunities? Are you willing to fully surrender your life to the creator?<br> It is in our moment of surrender that God says, NOW I CAN DO SOMETHING WITH THIS.<br> On the first day, God created light and he separated the light from darkness. And the same God who created the very light which still lights the Earth today wants to bring light into your darkness. He wants to show you your true worth and your God given potential. He wants to banish the darkness of depression and anxiety and show you a world of hope and beauty. Won’t you let his light shine in your dark places? My family is currently dealing with some darkness. Darkness that no doubt comes from the pits of hell, lies tearing apart relationships, authored by the prince of darkness, intended to pull precious souls into his plan. And God says “let there be light!” Let the truth shine on that darkness. Let there be no dark corners remaining for the enemy to hide. God separates the light and the darkness. If you’re dealing with a darkness, ask God to separate it with his light. That’s what he does. This is what changes lives. This is what causes the overwhelm to be contained. No more Satan. Your dark shadows of deception are forced out by the light and truth of our savior Jesus Christ!<br> On the second day God filled the earth with water, then he separated it to create sky and dry land. Where are my girls at that feel like they’re drowning? You’ve been treading water for so long just trying to keep your head above water. You work and you work and nothing seems to change. You fight and you claw your way through life and it still doesn’t seem like enough. God’s getting ready to separate the water which drowns you. You will see blue sky. You will be safe upon the shore. You’re going to get out of this. God’s making a way for you. You don’t have to see the way. You don’t have to feel the way. The way doesn’t even have to exist at this moment. But our God is going to MAKE a way for you.<br>
