“Let there be” was how it all began so we are told. Before there was any earth our heavenly Father said “let there be” light and light became. He then separated light from darkness; placed the sun, the moon and the stars in their appointed position in the heavens.

Again he said “let there be” and mountains were formed, Meadows, valleys and tree filled landscapes. Bird’s of all types soared through the skies and beast of all types roamed the land. With his voice he called all of these things into existence, he spoke and it stood fast.

Then something special happened;he said”let us make man in our image”. With his hands he formed man from the dust of the ground and with his breath he breathed life into him. Man was the jewel in the crown of God’s creation.

He placed in the care of man all he created, gave him the privilege of naming all the animals and dominion over them. That was in the beginning but now the character of mankind is so distorted it no longer reflects the perfection it was created to have in the beginning.

Man lost site of the Creator falling prey too the deception of the fallen angel Satan who’s voice said ” let there be,” hate, envy, greed, selfishness, violence and disobedience. His presence in the earth has tainted the beauty and perfection of God’s creation; especially man.

Man has no power over this strong combatant, but God is all powerful and has made a way of escape from the enemy through the strength of Jesus the Christ. When we give our lives in total submission too him we can then say ” let there be” peace to the storms of life and we’ll have peace.

We can say “let there be ” joy and sadness will flee, through the power of the Holy spirit we can speak and it will stand fast.
