The Waters Were Already There

Preamble: The Waters Were Already There

In the beginning, before God said anything—there was water. It wasn’t created, it was just there. Ancient. Unshaped. Deep. Scripture doesn’t open with a clean slate, it opens with a mystery. And the first move of God wasn’t to erase the chaos, but to hover over it. To move gently. To breathe purpose into the dark.

This is the rhythm of creation—God doesn’t fear the deep. He speaks into it. He separates. He fills. He brings light without needing to destroy the night. And that same Spirit still hovers today—over every place in us that feels formless, empty, or hidden.

This isn’t just about how the world was made. It’s about how we are remade.
