Happy New Year!
Today's encouragement comes from Genesis 1:1, where we read these words:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Being is to be preferred over non-existence. We ought to be glad that God made us, and that He created the whole world. The creative genius and won-der of God is good news for all of us. But the Lord's *re*-creative work, when He regenerates even one dead heart, is a greater marvel than the crafting of all the far-flung universe.
The very nature of reality profoundly changed forever, when God created the world. The Triune God now "shares" existence with all that is; and He has a special eye toward His church, His most amazing creation.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Morality shoots short of heaven. It is only nature refined. A moral man is but old Adam dressed in fine clothes.” —Thomas Watson, in, "The Doctrine of Repentance"]
