God Creates and Dwells — Creation Groans for Redemption

Today we stepped into a powerful truth:
The world we see now is not the world God made in Genesis 1–2:3.

In Isaiah 40:25–31 and Romans 8:18–25, Scripture shows us:

• creation was originally whole
• creation fell when humanity fell
• creation now groans under the weight of brokenness
• creation waits for renewal
• God strengthens the weary while we wait
• hope sustains us through suffering

Even creation remembers what it once was — and what it will be again.
Not groaning of despair… but groaning of expectation.
A longing for restoration.

And the same God who formed and filled creation in Genesis…
is the God who sustains and strengthens us today.

We hold onto hope not because life is easy,
but because Christ is faithful.
