Scripture lesson: Gen. 1:1-5 Creation

Time to reflect: The first creation story, Genesis 1:1-2:4a is a theological (not a scientific) treatise. One of the key points, expressed in verse 2 is that God created order out of chaos.

Moving through the day: Chaos and evil keep trying to break through pray for God's continuing work of creation.

Scripture:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

  And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
