In my isolation chamber, I worry. I hover over all that concerns me today and yesterday and tomorrow. And I immerse myself in the troubles and the feelings and my own tears flood my chamber as they threaten to overtake me.
But just as I hover over such, the Spirit of God hovers over me and my waters as He did at the beginning right before creating.
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1:1-2
And this hovering breaks open my isolation chamber and my waters drain out and there is light in my darkness.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:3-4
And with this Light, I emerge from my chamber alive with light that the darkness cannot overcome.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-5
He hovers over my need even before I seek Him. He hovers and separates me from my darkness as He creates His light within me.
I step out blinking in the Sonshine, now ready to grow into the new creation His hovering is restoring.
It is a new day and it is good.
