Genesis 1:2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. Andt heSpirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
It is stirring to imagine the scene. I think of the pond I sit in front of in the summer early in the morning to spend my time with the Lord. The reflections of the trees, grass, birds flying over the still water is such a beautiful site to me. As the sun comes up and the reflections that hover over the water is so God to me!! The bursting white clouds remind me of His majesty and glory. It is not hard for me at this time, no matter what my troubles are that morning to burst into praise to Him.
Imagine Him hovering over me. I am His creation, and His desire for me is to reflect His glory. As I face things and as I face even happy times, My body, face and life has my creator hovering over me. It is my desire as I read this verse that I do reflect what is hovering over me. Even when someone throws a stone on the still water, will I still please the Father, When the results of a stone cause waves on the still waters to waver, will I be like the man James mentions later in his exhortation ‘driven and tossed like the wind”. Or will my faith cause the Spirit underneath the surface to ‘be still and know that He is God’. The stone is not always a person trying to break the peace I have. Or some trial that is harder than the normal, It is also the blessings that are often taken advantage of that will cause a wave to make His reflection less recognizable. But we can be still and know that He is God and the wave will stop sooner or later and His reflection will become as clear as it was the day He created it!! As we go through this day, lets remember that we are His creation and desires as He hovers over us to be a reflection of His character.
