The Creative Spirit Genesis 1:1-2

Do you remember when you could be given a container or two of play-dough and be entertained? Do you remember the way it felt when you squeezed it between your fingers or rolled it out like a snake? As we got older, our fascinations with play-dough might have transferred over to sand at the beach. I once watched a boy and his mother let wet sand run out of their fingers to create beautiful, unique towers of sand. Perhaps you have done similar things.

When God created the heavens and the earth, all was formless. God essentially had a giant lump of play-dough and from it, creation happened. God is the original creative spirit. You are made in the image of God. Your creative spirit comes from God. For some, this spirit is utilized to make clay into beautiful pottery, or plain words into amazing poetry. For others, the creative spirit finds expression in the way problems are solved. In it all, God made you to be creative. How are you expressing this gift?
