“Focus” [Jerusalem Bible Spanish – (Genesis 1:1-2)
I love the insight off the bat
In Chapter One – imagine that!
The darkness of obscurity
Was over chaos – couldn’t see –But Spirit of life-giving God
Came, “fluttered” – which seems somewhat odd –
Not over chaos – that’s too deep,
But over waters – now that’s sweet!For in our lives when chaos reigns,
I learn that Spirit acts the same –
It hovers over what still moves –
Creatively – so it behooves –Us also to take up such ways –
Let Spirit dance throughout our days,
Creating life and separateness
From what gives life – not darkened mess.Lord, as I hear Your word this day,
I thank You – now You’ve shown a way
To focus on what still gives life –
Admit to it creative light.Shine into this chaotic mess;
Like at the first, these waters bless
That we might rise in You once more,
And glimpse what You have still in store.Thanks Lord for this.
