"And God said, Let there be light," Genesis 1:3.
At the beginning of creation, when earth was wild and waste, and darkness covered the face of the deep, the spirit of God hovered over it. So, when God spoke into that primordial chaos, he gave genesis to life and goodness and beauty. A primordial chaos sits on the heart of a human life, too. Formless, void, dark, it breeds deep despair born of utter frustration and thwarted life. But God speaks: Awake, O sleeper, and come up from the grave, and Christ will shine on you! Indeed, on a people who dwelt in a land of deep darkness a light has shined. These are born to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Shine on, O God, and bring us life!
As we pray, we give thanks to our God for his light. And before today or tomorrow is out, share with another the brightness of our God.
