New Day.....God is here

It is 5:19 A.M. as I write this.
I've been up for about 20 minutes.
Coffee is perking.
Day is beginning.

In Genesis 1:1 we read In the beginning God.....
He was there to set everything in motion.
He was there to create and bring order to a chaotic situation.
He was there to "speak" into existence everything that we now see, touch, taste, hear and smell.
The funny part was that this morning as I got up from bed....
God was there.
In the beginning of my day, God was there ready to do the same thing he did in Genesis 1:1
To bring order to my life and day when chaos comes to visit.
To speak and with the command of his voice set the forces of hell to flight.

God is a beginning God.
If you have had any connection with A.A. or a recovery group then you have heard the phrase "One day at a time".  Meaning that our focus and direction is found in the 24 hour period given to us by God. The 24 hours is a gift in order for a person to maintain their sobriety.
Well, God fills up that 24 hour period.
He is there as the clock rolls past midnight and a new day is ushered in.
He is there to empower you to live this next 24 hours for his glory.
He is there to fill you with His Holy Spirit who will direct you and speak truth to you.
God is a beginning God.

I like what it says in Genesis when God finishes a work.
He looks at it. Not the way you and I would but with an eye that sees every angle, every way possible it could be used and says "God saw that it was good."
Reckon how many times God says that daily as He watches over us?
We pull our thoughts back from using and focus on Him......."and God saw that it was good."
We share our story with another who is trapped in addiction....."and God saw that it was good."
We call out to Him in our darkest hour when we seem to be out of hope..."and God saw that it was good."
We surrender our life and will over to the care of God........"and God saw that it was very good."

Know that God is an ever-present God.
God on you....
