Your Genesis

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10). God spoke the world into existence, and God spoke you into your mother’s womb. Even now, he can speak into the chaos and confusion of your life to bring it shape and form.

This is what a Genesis event is. It is where God speaks into the void and the darkness of your life creating for you a new beginning -- a fresh start. God can create something from nothing; he can take a heart that is broken, impure, or failed and create a heart that is whole, pure, and purposeful. God wants to see you pure, so he takes an active role in creating your new heart and bringing order to the chaos of your life. God gives us one responsibility in tough times… submit to his sovereignty, humble ourselves before Him, and ask for his help and trust that He has heard us and is in control. Let God speak a Genesis moment into your heart and into the circumstances of your life. Let me encourage you to acknowledge that “everything that you have--right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start--comes from God by way of Jesus Christ.”

Make this your prayer: “God renew in me a firm and focused spirit, no longer chaotic or moved by events, circumstances, or feelings. God shape my life by You and by your Spirit flowing through me.”

Give God your chaos. Let God speak into your life creating a new beginning, a new hope, and a new energy. Let God, make a fresh start in you, and shape a Genesis week from the chaos of life.
