Creativity

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1)

 The power to create

God, the creator, created people with the power to create. And He has given each person uniqueness with specific abilities, gifts, and talents to do what they were created for. When they discover and embrace God’s creativity and purposeful design for their lives, they find the most satisfaction in life.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:10 ESV)

God has a wonderful plan for each one He’s made

Today, unfortunately, many young people don’t have a Christian worldview, only a secular and very ungodly one. They come out of learning institutions not sure what they want to do as a vocation. The problem is that they were not taught while growing up that God has a wonderful plan for their lives and that they need to continually seek His guidance to discover and prepare for it. And the sooner they learn to put God first in their decision-making plans, the happier, more productive, and more fulfilled they will be. Because most don’t seek Him at all, they flounder.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Rom. 12:2 ESV)

The Creator and His design for things 

When God created people, He made them in His own image and gave them the power to create things themselves within the world He placed them in and for the time and circumstances that surrounded them. 

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Gen. 1:27 ESV)

“And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze,” (Exo. 35:31 ESV)

Therefore

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” (Col. 3:23 ESV)
