The Foundation of Our Faith

Have you ever wondered why some people struggle to believe in miracles while others embrace them with childlike faith? The answer often lies in how we view the very first verse of the Bible. When we truly grasp that God created everything from nothing, every other miracle becomes not just possible, but expected.

Think about it - if someone can speak entire galaxies into existence, is healing the sick really that difficult? If someone can form mountains with a word, is walking on water really that surprising? The creation account isn't just ancient history; it's the foundation that makes every other act of God believable. Many people today question creation, but when we do, we're actually questioning God's power in every area of our lives. If we doubt His ability to create, how can we trust Him to save us, provide for us, or transform us? The enemy knows this, which is why creation is under such constant attack.

When you face impossible circumstances today, remember that you serve the God who created everything you see and everything you don't see. The same power that formed the stars is available to work in your life. Your problems, no matter how overwhelming they seem, are small compared to the One who created the universe with just His words.

Let this truth settle deep in your heart: if God can create everything from nothing, He can certainly handle whatever you're facing today.
