To the Beginning







 בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

--Genesis 1:1

 We scroll back the Torah to the beginning.
When the earth was chaos and waste, and darkness was on the surface of the deep.

The Ruach Elohim was hovering on the surface of the water.  (1:2)

Then God said, "Let there be light!" and there was light.  (1:3)

God saw that the light was good. (1:4)

After each day of creation was completed, God said "so there was evening and there was morning", and then he counted the day, starting from one.

In this very day too we are entering a very new day and God is continuing to create a-new.
What number day is it?  I don't know but it it is the very same God who created that very first day, and He continues to give us a new day. Its like a new chance.  Every day.  He said every day that it was good.  And how good it is that He continues to give us a new day.  A new chance.  A day to be created a-new and to have the amazing chance to spend that day in acknowledgement of our Creator, and giving thanks and glory to Him in every living moment of that day.

So there was evening and there was morning...

As we start again from the beginning,
May we give thanks for ...today!!
Have a blessed one!

  1. Amen. It is Thanksgiving in Canada. It's connected to the last harvest in traditional times but I always associate it with my childhood church and an opportunity for giving thanks to God for all he has done. Nice to see you back.

  6. I always go back to the creation. I sometimes find myself in an argument saying - this is not in God's book. He hasn't created that; it's man that constantly violates the rules of the creation and is unable to solve the problems that are caused by this violation.

    1. Hi Duta, yes, that's good to hear your way of "arguing", and looking in God's book, going back to the creation, turning our eyes to Him and His Torah of Truth. Amen!
