New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
Have you ever considered that God’s greatest joy is to bless us? Not just in response to what we do, but as part of who He is. Reflecting on my life, I’ve come to see how God’s blessings are often paired with instructions—simple, profound acts of obedience—and how He graciously guides us along paths we’re already walking, toward promises that are beyond what we could ever imagine.
Abraham: A Call to Trust
Take Abraham, for example. God called him to leave his homeland and go to a place He would show him. This wasn’t a random act—it was the continuation of a journey Abraham’s family had already started. Before settling in Haran, Abraham’s father, Terah, had set out for Canaan (Genesis 11:31). God wasn’t asking Abraham to venture into the completely unknown but to continue toward a place that had already been in view.
The promise that followed? Greatness, blessing, and a legacy that would reach every nation. Abraham’s obedience to God’s call aligned him with a destiny God had already prepared.
Rahab: The Unlikely Heroine
Then there’s Rahab, whose story reminds us that God’s plans often unfold through the ordinary and the unlikely. As a prostitute, her livelihood depended on welcoming strangers. When she welcomed the Israelite spies, it might have seemed like any other day’s work—but God used that moment to save her and her family.
Her choice to trust in the God of Israel (Joshua 2:9-13) led to her inclusion in the lineage of Jesus, showing that our past doesn’t disqualify us from the future God has planned.
My Story: Walking Through the Fire
In my own life, I’ve seen how God’s instructions often meet us where we are and take us exactly where we need to be. When I was in prison, feeling trapped and hopeless, God gave me a simple directive: “Trust Me.” That trust was tested when I considered escaping—trying to take matters into my own hands—but He made it clear that the only way out was through.
Step by step, God’s guidance carried me through what could have been an unbearable situation. From survival strategies in maximum security to specific programs that prepared me for the parole board, every instruction was an act of grace. When the time came, I walked out unscathed—like the Hebrew boys who emerged from the fiery furnace without even the smell of smoke (Daniel 3:27).
He Provides What He Requires
What all these stories have in common is this: God never asks for more than we can give, but what He does ask for positions us to receive what only He can give. Abraham trusted, Rahab opened her door, and I followed His instructions—each of us using what we had in our hands to step into a blessing far beyond our reach.
Psalm 65:4 captures it perfectly:
"Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple."
God chooses us and draws us close—not to burden us but to bless us.
Conclusion: The Path of Blessing
If you feel like God is asking for something that feels impossible, consider this: He’s not trying to take from you but to give to you. His instructions are invitations to align with His plans. His promises are already waiting. And His blessings? They’re exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or think.
What step of faith is God calling you to take today? Will you trust Him to meet you on the path of blessing?
