Word Stories by Stacy #1: Thoughts on Genesis 1:1 by Stacy Duplease of Stories by Stacy

Premise of Word Stories by Stacy:
Here is a meditative look to the Scripture. It's not meant to be a theological study. It's just my thoughts on what I read. Wanted to share it with you.

Word Stories by Stacy:
Genesis 1:1

A) In the beginning...
There was a beginning.
There was a beginning of everything.
Everything didn't exist, including time, until God started it.
God initiates everything.
Time didn't exist if there was a beginning.

B) ...God created...
What's created?
To create means to bring into being, to fashion, to make, to event, and to prepare.
As I reflect on God as Creator, I have several thoughts.
1. If you create something, you put yourself into it and do so wholeheartedly. You don't, or shouldn't, fail to give it your all and nothing less.
2. To create something, you have to care about it and want it.
3. When you create something, it's to bring improvement to the world.
4. Creating means adding to the world (another part of you).

C) ...the heavens and the earth...
God took an active role.
Heavens= sky and universe
