Re:Verse passage – Acts 1:8 (day three)
“…to the remotest part of the earth.”
The Spirit that will empower a worldwide revelation has been drawing close to the world since the beginning. “Now the earth was formless and empty…and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” As the accretion disk spun around the sun, as molten rock coalesced into a rocky sphere, as icy comets plunged into the young sky delivering water that gathered into seas, was the hovering Spirit contemplating that future time when the humans God made would see a new light and turn back to their Creator? The Spirit has been at this work a long, long time. He who moved across those ancient oceans will not stop until the earth “be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
Dear Pastor Bryan,
Thank you for the stunning imagery! I had to use the dictionary for a couple of your descriptions, but it was well worth it. The biggest word I know is effervescent, and I think it aptly describes my reaction to your beautifully written paragraph.
Sincerely,
Marcine Garcia
