The Move of the Spirit

UV 812/10,000 Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Our lives are empty, shapeless, directionless, meaningless and purposeless unless the Spirit of God moves upon the face of our depths. The earth was formless and empty like all the other heavenly bodies like planets and asteroids in space but when He moved upon the face of the deep and upon the face of the waters, life on earth took on shape and purpose. There is a profusion of life and shapes and forms that flourish on Earth. In sharp contrast,no form of life has been traced on any other planet and is most unlikely to exist as these planets are like control planets to prove and give evidence of the work of God. No blade of grass, no whiff of wind exists on these planets. Just as His dispensation for the Earth, the Lord has an unique dispensation for each of our lives. We need to invite the Lord to send the Holy Spirit to move afresh every day in the depths of our souls, causing us to fulfil His purpose and plan for our lives. He will drive the darkness out of our lives and fill us with the light of His knowledge and wisdom. He will fill our empty lives with meaning. He does so by interpreting and reminding us often of the living waters of the Word of God. It is impossible to understand the origin and purpose of the universe or our own lives without the help of the Word. Scientists work on hypothesis or guesses or theories that are so far from the truth. Can they look through a telescope or a microscope and hope to see and encounter the Spirit of God? When we invite the Holy Spirit, He separates light from darkness or the good from evil, the chaff from the grain in our lives. Our disintegrated and vain lives will take on shape and we will develop focus. Our character will be formed on rock-hard principles. There will be unction or anointing of the Holy Spirit even in our mundane functions. We will discover both rhyme and reason, purpose and power, strength and grace in our lives. Our deeper understanding will nourish us from within and cause us to flourish as water and sap rise up and nourish the plants. Prateep V Philip
