My mind tonight is resting in the fact that this verse does not only apply to "in the beginning", but also in the now. And in the now, life is blessed and good. I don't know about you, but I have so much to be thankful for in the now. In the now, my family is healthy. In the now, we are safe and well provided for. In the now, Robert and I enjoy our children, grandchildren, our brothers and sisters, my mother...our family is close and loving. And I understand that "in the future" all may not be like it is today.
But I do know that at all times, past, present and future, God is the One who holds all things together. And no matter the circumstances of life at any given time, I know that I can trust in God for my ultimate good.
In the beginning, in the now, in the future...at all times...God is on His throne. And how would we have ever had this knowledge had His Word not come to earth to let us know who He is and how much He loves us. Only through Jesus can I have all of the assurances that I have stated above.
When I get glimpses of the all encompassing plan of God that started "in the beginning" I am truly awestruck.
ALL PRAISE TO GOD THE FATHER, JESUS HIS SON, THE HOLY SPIRIT - THREE IN ONE - TRIUNE GOD!
