I heard someone say, “Maybe I wasn’t supposed to be anybody. I thought that because I had a bad start, automatically I would have a bad ending. But God takes nothing and makes it into something— something great!” He takes those who have been tossed aside; those who have been disregarded, and treated with contempt and turn them into something—That’s what God does, and He’s pretty good at it.
Genesis tells us that God created the earth out of nothing. I love that the bible tells us that. I love that it tells us God created all that we know out of nothing! The earth God created is beautiful, breathtaking and magnificent. I can’t even begin to fathom how He did such a thing! If God can create beauty out of vacuums how much more can he create with our lives?
Today and always, I want to encourage you to confidently believe in the God who creates something out of nothing, the God who calls into being things that are not as though they were, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that do not yet exist (Romans 4:17).
With God, you can make it. He is your guarantee for a bright future. It does not matter what your past was like; with God, you can move forward into brighter days. With God, all your limitations and weaknesses become your stepping stone into greater. God is your hope and your joy. He is your source of living, and He makes it worth living.
Ponder: What in your life feels like nothing that God could make something out of?
