In the beginning God…
– Genesis 1:1
There is no better way to begin this journey of exploring the people and entities in the Bible than to start with God. He is not just the beginning but is the origin of all things. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He sees the end of everything from its beginning. That is why He is called the Omniscient, the all-knowing God.
He is also not just omniscient, He is likewise omnipotent, all-powerful, and omnipresent, He is everywhere and is ever present. He is God over all.
While our reference scripture today is about to start acquainting us with the history of creation, perhaps we can also borrow a leaf from it by consciously resolving to make God part of all our beginnings. That is by inviting Him into the foray before we start anything of note or surrendering all our new experiences, happenings, and developments to Him.
Doing this will not only ensure that we have a formidable ally on our side as we proceed in our various endeavors in life, but it will also guarantee that our works are sustainable and can stand the test of time.
Why is this so? The universe is believed to be about 13.8 billion years, while the Earth, the part of the universe where we humans live in, is believed to be about 4.54 billion years old. There is no other entity around older than the universe created by God. In the same way there is no other creature on Earth older than the Earth itself. It was the story of how the universe and the Earth came into being that we are about to read in Genesis 1, and they all started with, “in the beginning God…”
Therefore, God is the God of all beginnings. That we acknowledge Him or not in our beginnings does not remove Him from such beginning, it only deprives us of His partnership. The more reason we must deliberately invite Him before we start anything and consciously involve Him as we continue with them. Doing so does not increase His stature; it only enhances our chances of succeeding thereof.
Jesus Loves You!
