Something out of Nothing
Opening Prayer
Mighty Creator, who formed our world out of chaos, thank you for providing all that is needed for beauty, for order, for life. Help me to see and treasure the wonder of your works in new ways.
Read Genesis 2:4-6
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Meditation
God would create something very beautiful out of nothing! There had been no place for any living thing to be or to grow—not any vegetable or fruit, not any animals, and no people! There was nothing to see, nothing to enjoy. But God made the heavens and the earth, and he made water to spring from the ground; there now could be life. Now beauty was beginning to be formed!
