We will now employ this principle to study the account of creation.

"In the beginning, Hashem created the heavens and the earth." "In the beginning," refers to the beginning of creation. When it says, "created," what does that tell us? That there is a Creator and a creation. Without this passuk, one might have thought that chas veshalom, the world came into being through a natural process. But the Torah clarifies for us that there is one truth, which is that there is a Creator and a creation, and the existence of the world didn't just happen on its own. Who is the Creator? "Elokim." The Torah tells us Who created the world - Hashem. A person should think about this and talk to Hashem and say, "The Torah says that You created the world! You, and none other created every single thing." Every believing Jew knows all of this, but we must firmly infuse ourselves with the concept that only Hashem, and nothing else, created the world. One who has not toiled greatly to infuse this pure emunah into his heart is almost definitely lacking in his emunah.

Belief is not easy. Like life, you always have to be conscious of it in order to benefit from it. And it's a scary thing to accept, because once you accept that there's a Creator, you also going to accept that He created you to do His Will.
