Passage
In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth-- the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness <FI>is<Fi> on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters, and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is. And God seeth the light that <FI>it is<Fi> good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness, and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning--day one.

Study Lenses
The verse centers on "called", "Spirit", "light", "darkness", "beginning", "god's", "preparing", and "heavens". It is saying that the contrast between light and darkness marks a real divide in how people respond to God's work.
The next verse adds "And God saith Let an expanse be...", so "called" and "Spirit" should be read forward into that movement. In Creation Begins, the local focus is creation, God's sovereignty, the Spirit's presence, and light.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "called" and "Spirit" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
