A note : (Matthew Daniels) The Spirit of God was moving upon the face of the waters Genesis 1:2 With the first mention of the Spirit, He was moving. The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Godhead that works as a divine agent who does all the works of God. He is ever moving, working, and bringing forth the purposes of God. It is crucial for every Christian to know the Holy Spirit, and learn how to follow Him in all things. In order to do this, we have to keep moving. The nature of the Christian life is to be moving and going somewhere. The Christian life is never stagnant, but flowing like a river. We have a destination and a work to accomplish on earth with the Holy Spirit. In the beginning the Spirit of God was moving, and the Spirit is still moving. That is why the River of Life is a river, not a pond or lake. A river is always going somewhere. The Lord intends this for every Christian. God has called us to a noble journey that grows continuously in both life and power. If we stay on this course, Proverbs 4:18 will be fulfill in us: But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. A river starts as a single drop of water, and then becomes a stream. Next, the stream gathers with other streams from the country side, and the river grows until it reaches its destination. We all begin as a single drop, a single soul among the teaming billions on earth. Then, if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another (see I John 1:7). Our journey is not alone. There is no other fellowship on earth like that which is found in the body of Jesus Christ. We are called to walk with other souls. If we stay on this course, we will gather with many others who are going to the same destination. Our little streams should then join others, growing all of the time into a mighty river. The body of Christ is a glorious gift. Each Christian is a marvelous treasure to be discovered. When the Spirit moves, life will break forth. The move of the Spirit made the formless earth to a symphony of such harmony of beauty that we will for eternity marvel at the wonder of His ways. The Holy Spirit still loves to take even the most desolate life and turn it into a glorious symphony of life. He also builds with permanence, as King Solomon understood: I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him (Ecclesiastes 3:14). To the degree that we work in harmony with His plan, we will be used to do that which will last forever. This is called having fruit that remains. All life springs from the Spirit of God, and we can only have true life when we are moving with Him. As we behold His work, we should not be discouraged by the present state of things. The more desolate it is, the more glorious the works of the Spirit will emerge.
