How often have you dismissed the power of God and His powerful word in your life?
God spoke, and seas were gathered together.  God spoke and dry land appeared.
Look at a globe or at a map of the world.  It is mind-boggling that God spoke and there they were.  The power of God’s spoken word is amazing.  “Then God said”…and it happened!

(NASB) Genesis 1:9-10 “Then God said, ‘Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear’; and it was so.
10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.”

What is one way to respond to this Scripture?  Prayer is one way…and this is my prayer:
‘Oh LORD, open my eyes, mind and understanding to Who You are!
You are all-powerful.  Forgive me for not trusting You to work in me and through my life.
Your spoken word had the power to gather the waters into seas.  By Your spoken word land appeared and today maps reveal continents, islands, and their divisions into countries.
People work to understand what makes up the waters and the land…which You made by speaking.
Your provision for life in the seas and on the land is beyond my knowledge and understanding.  People continue to discover what You did “In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth.” (See Genesis 1:1)
All praise and awe belong to You, Omnipotent Creator God!
I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.’
