In the beginning, before time as we know it, before the earth, before the stars, before anything existed, there was God.

The Book of Genesis opens with one of the most powerful and simple statements ever written: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis chapter 1 verse 1). This single verse sets the foundation for everything that follows—not just in Genesis, but in the entire Bible.

At first, the earth had no shape. It was empty, dark, and covered in deep waters. There was no light, no land, no life. Yet even in that darkness, something important is revealed. The Spirit of God was present, moving over the waters. This tells us that even when things seem empty or without form, God is still there, ready to bring order and purpose.
