Day 1: The Gift of Beginning
We thank you for the gift of “The Beginning.” Thank you for there is a beginning in our lives, in nature and every created thing. Before the Beginning is darkness. You spoke and light came into being. The light that helps us see and live. Before the Beginning is emptiness. You spoke and the void rolled away ushering in fullness, form, and beauty. Before the Beginning is chaos. You spoke and orderliness took over. Before the Beginning is no human, then, you spoke and you formed us, who are the wonders of the world.
Thank you for the gift of Beginning, for now we know that there will always be a beginning in the affairs of men. When darkness casts its shadows in our ‘before the beginning’, You speak and the light of your face shines and scatters the darkness. The Beginning in our lives brings to end chaos, sufferings, lies, fears, and failures, and hope is birthed of better things.
The gift of Beginning is so very awesome. It assures that nothing evil is permanent. We all would have been lost in the dirt of our lives without you the “Beginning.” When men get elated and forget that they have a beginning, then, the Beginning starts and turns their wisdom to foolishness.
Thank you, Lord, for the one Beginning that will not leave us to rot here on earth with age. The Beginning comes to transform us to where You are. It may be called death, but it is a beginning of new things and a beholding of your face forever.
