Creativity
is a lost art in today's society. We copy and paste everything, rather than to
create. We follow patterns developed by other people. Yet, our Heavenly Father
is the Creator of the universe, and He abides within us.
God
did not just make one type of person, cat, dog, flower, tree, mountain, bug,
reptile, amphibian, etc. His creativity knows no bounds; and scientist
constantly discover new species on this earth, and new stars and galaxies in
the sky that He produced.
He
created numerous kingdom, species, genus, phylum, class, order and family of
them all. His unique creativity is evident in every sunset, snowflake, person, and the
creatures and nature on land, and in the air and sea.
If
we allow Creator God to flow through us, we experience delightful, engaging
talents that we never even dreamed that we possessed. As we explore our
curiosity about life, we are amazed at the limitless possibilities that are
ours through Christ.
He
also give us His wisdom, discernment, insight and revelation concerning aspects
in our life that were once a giant puzzle to us. Christ in us compensates for
our lack of human capacities (Philippians 4:13), and uses our innocence and prayers
to enhance our life.
God
never views us as lacking, and He helps us to excel in areas like art, music,
crafts, sports, etc. His creativity lives through us. He prompts us to take an
interest in other people, to help them to solve their problems, and to excel in
their talents as well.
Humility
and sincerity permit us to change our mind, attitude and heart about issues. We
can relinquish control over our life to God; and realize that nothing can come
against us of which He is not aware (Romans 8:31).
Prayer:
Father
God, you always use everything for our benefit, even if we reap consequences of
our own behavior (Romans 8:28). You constantly allow patience to do her
perfecting work in us if we cooperate and focus on Your will in all of our
circumstances. Thank You for Your presence in our life and for giving us Your
Holy Spirit to guide us through the maze in which we often find our self.
Help
us to do Your will each moment of the day, to minister to those You put in our
path, and to help only those You direct us to help. We do not want to enable
people by indiscriminately doling out money or other resources to someone in
whom You are attempting to draw to trust more in You than in people. We live
for Your glory, and we thank You for all that You do for us.
Thought
for the Day:
Fear
of rejection, failure and even success makes us sabotage our own efforts in
this life; we limit our usefulness to God's Kingdom when we encourage our low opinion
of our self, and fail to step out as God's Spirit directs us into uncharted
waters.
