In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1, New International Version

    We are creatures of the earth. Yes, we are much more than that, but occasionally we need to be reminded! We can't truly understand existence before time, yet before the beginning of time as we know it, God existed -- he has revealed himself as "I Am," the one who is and was is to come. Before there was an ordered universe to provide the basis of our existence, God is. He had existence before, beyond, and without our created universe. We can't even truly comprehend this in its entirety. That's why every new beginning -- whether it is a day, a week, a year, or a millennium -- should begin with God. He alone is the ultimate Genesis, our beginning.
