Scripture - Gen 1:2-3 And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be..."
Observation - This is one of the foundational scriptures in the whole bible - the beginning of God's creation. God's Spirit hovering over the earth in its formless, void state and speaking into existence the entirety of what we know today as life and substance. God looked over the earth and began His work to create. He started by saying "Let there be..." God's spoken word has power to form, to complete, to engage. Let there be... speaks to us to day of possibility. Whatever God wants there to be there will be.
Application - As I look at this year of 2011, God has promised so many things. Let there be... are words that I will be repeating throughout this year. My pray will be God let there be souls saved, healing miracles, church growth, campus expansion, teams formed. Create ministry this year God that will bless our entire region and our entire country. There are so many things that God has placed in my heart to do - I pray His words "Let there be" become resounding and that those dreams become reality. 2011 is full of possibility - we simply need to make the decision to allow God to "Let There BE!"
Prayer - Father let there be life in the things you have given me to do. Let there be life in the ministries you have put in my hands. Let there be souls abundant this year. Give us hundreds saved, restored and redeemed. Father "Let there be" should be the song of my heart for this year. Let your creative ability come to full measure this year.
