Word Stories by Stacy #2: Thoughts on Genesis 1:2 by Stacy Duplease of Stories by Stacy

Genesis 1:2 Thoughts:
1) The earth was formless and empty...
Formless means a lack of form. Lack of shape.
Empty means: a voice or an empty waste. Nothingness.
Out of Context (OOC): Do you feel formless, empty, or a void? Why? What can you do to feel full or complete?

2) ...A darkness covered up the face or surface of the deep waters...
OOC: Where in my life do I feel as though a darkness is covering me?
How do I feel underwater or drowning?
What can be done to fix it?

3) ...The Spirit of God hovered upon the face or surface of the waters...
God moved, brooded, and hovered.
Questions regarding the text I need to research: How could the earth be without form and yet be covered with water?
OOC: Even though we're in the middle of darkness, God is there. We're not alone.
