Friday, November 26: Scripture – Genesis 1:1-2

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 2 the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.

Prayer Focus: This coming Sunday we begin the season of Advent and our theme this year is “The Light Still Shines.” Our primary texts will come from the first chapter of the Gospel of John, but we’ll also surround it with several other scriptures about light. So, today we begin at the beginning. When God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep. We want to be careful as we think about light and darkness as those biblical images can be too easily equated with good and bad. The formless void, darkness, and the waters in our text for today seem to provide the beginning of God’s good creation. Pray that you might be careful how you define and how you name light and darkness today.
