Before God spoke creation into order, His Spirit was present over the chaos. This verse shows that God never abandons what He is about to make — He was already there, attentive and ready, before the first word of creation.
Memory phrase: God's Spirit was already there.
Talk about it: Have you ever been in a very dark place? Who was with you?
Prayer: God, thank You that Your Spirit is always present, even in the dark and empty places. Be near to me too.
