1IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
2The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.This verse finds the Holy Spirit ready for action. He is never still, always moving and always ready. To find the life of action and adventure it just has to be by the Holy Spirit. Without him there is nothing. No faith, no love, no life - just void emptiness.
The Holy Spirit was brooding over the earth. Now when I looked up this word I found it meant either a depressive state or like a hen sitting and waiting on its eggs. Now I think we can safely say that the Holy Spirit does not get depressed - he is the God of all hope and joy: we must conclude then he is waiting for life to hatch - and not waiting in a passive sense but in action.
I wonder how the Holy Spirit managed to stay patient. He must have been excited in the knowledge that one day He would come onto the earth in His fullness. When Jesus death and resurrection made a way for God to dwell with man the Holy Spirit was sent to live in His fullness inside us. No wonder he made such a racket at Pentecost - it was the Holy Spirit’s dream come true and he was just so thrilled in that moment.
I believe he is still thrilled when men and woman allow him to dwell in them in his fullness. He can act according to His hearts desire in their obedience - without religion or wordly rubbish getting in the way. The Holy Spirit isn’t slow in responding to the desire of godly people - just give it a go. Right now wait on the Holy Spirit and see if he isn’t eager to come and meet with you and fill you afresh.
