Be Amazed!

When we think of a beginning, we refer to the start of something, the very root of a thing.  The first of Scripture says, "In the beginning God ... " (Genesis 1:1).  Those four words speak volumes about all words that follow.  A. W. Tozer comments on these four words: "Not matter, for matter is not self-causing. It requires an antecedent cause, and God is that Cause. Not law, for law is but a name for the course which all creation follows. That course had to be planned, and the Planner is God. Not mind, for mind also is a created thing and must have a Creator back of it. In the beginning God, the uncaused Cause of matter, mind and law There we must begin." I suggest the lack of depth to our spiritual wisdom and understanding is a shallow knowledge of God, and it has crippled us spiritually.  In order to mature as Christians and grow closer to the One Who created us, let us go back to the beginning, asking ask God to reveal Himself in new ways.  Stand ready, then, to be amazed!
