In the first chapter of Genesis,
the Bible’s book of beginnings,
God did nothing
but wait.
God lingered.
God stayed
alert for emergency.
(God was curious to see what would emerge.)
God noticed the stirrings of urgency,
something needed to be
released,
unconstrainted,
unconfined,
God spoke
a liberating word –
“let” there be”
Then God got out of the way,
let things become what they were.
First it was: LIGHT!
QUESTION:
Who got out of your way when you were a child
to allow you to become the adult you are now?
