God Creates Space

What it looks like for God to create space in your life

Recap

Waters are chaotic

Pattern

God said

it happened

God saw that it was good

the next day

V6 & 7

Worldview

Picture - how vs Character of God

Boundaries - Distinction between 2 bodies of water

Things (like water) that scare us that don’t scare God (overwhelming to us not God)

Overwhelming times where we need God to define the space. This is loving

Things beyond us

Control/power over the boundaries is the difference

God names these - so it’s his to control

There are things in your life that you can control and things only he can control.

Space and time for him

Relationships between people

Why is good missing?

because it’s not done

God’s timing is not our timing.

Hurry up and wait

Wait and then bang bang.

V8

God names the land.

Every sort of seed-bearing plant and trees.

God loves variety and consistency

Beauty, Order, Consistency

A maple tree is always a maple tree

Rows of pine trees

Important because Red Woods dropping counts would be problem.

Red wood - 380 feet

Coconut = 3 pounds

over 2,000 pounds of impact force

Consistency

When we see nature it screams the character of God.

The various stories in the room don’t scare Him. He will constantly work in any echo system.

Sustainability

God is active but not a control freak

God saw that it was Good

God will see it to completion

Here is what it looks like for God to create space:

Boundaries

The overwhelming this that scare us can be set controlled by God - holy space

God’s Timing is God’s timing

He will call it good when it is

If you are going through long seasons know that He will not be rushed. Day 2 is not good, but Day 3 has 2 goods.

God love variety and consistency

Variety is beautiful

Consistence shows order and power

Sustainability

God is active without being a control freak. - delegated authority

Sit by water this summer - see trees and plants and be reminded of the character of God.
