The Spirit of God Moved

January 24, 2020

Genesis 1:2

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

How often I have read these Scriptures on the account of God's creation of the heaven's and the earth.  Each time I read them I realize how powerful God is to speak His thoughts, desires, wants, plans into existence.  In like manner, "As God's creation we all want to be like Him and operate like Him, do we not?"  This time, reading these Scriptures and meditating upon them wouldn't let my heart go and I simply asked, "Father, what is it you want me to learn today?"

"The Spirit of God Moved" was a thought I read time and time again, but, deep in my spirit being--that born again part of me I heard these words, "Did you notice My Rest moved upon My Desires?" I said to myself, "That's it ! You never do nothing without Your Rest."  As I studied the word "Moved" I found in the root word meaning, "To relax."  Hallelujah!

It would be appropriate to read, "I caused My Rest to move and expand over every thought; every plan; every desire before I spoke anything into being" on the face of the waters.  It was in the actions of "The Spirit of God Moving" of God's Rest that everything became One.

In like manner, Jesus is that place in which all of God dwells and without Him nothing was made or created.  Jesus understands the "High Calling of God" is the Rest of our Heavenly Father in Him, which was already accomplished through the finished works of the Cross.  For it was "God's Rest" that Jesus desired to restore to all that God created to reconcile mankind.  (2 Cor. 5:18-21)

In our daily prayer today, through our personal Secret Place, let us all be reminded that "To every desire in prayer the foundation of God's Rest must be able to occupy every thought; every plan; before we speak them into being--as an act of honoring God's High Call first, through Christ in us." 

Let us turn our hymnals to:

God, who made the earth and heaven,

Darkness and light:

You the day for work have given,

For rest the night.

Confession: Heavenly Father, of joy Divine, before I speak cause me to allow Your Rest to occupy all my desires; all my thoughts; all the plans you have revealed to me.  Let Your Rest expand them before You as You must upon them all as they become One in You, through Christ our Righteousness in me.  In Jesus name. Amen
