The Creative Spirit Genesis 1:3-5

Imagine that first moment light came to be. All I can equate it to is going to the restroom in the middle of the night and clicking the light on, only to be blinded momentarily.

God did this from nothingness. God spoke light into being from the darkness. Does light still require creativity? Sure, Thomas Alva Edison had to be creative to create the light bulb, but let’s think for a minute about creating light from darkness. Light and darkness take many forms, especially using them to describe situations. Human trafficking is darkness. Disease due to unclean drinking water is darkness. War orphans live in darkness.

Creativity is a light in several ways. God gives you passion, gifts, and talents to share light in the world. One way to use creativity is to shed light in places where darkness reigns. Another is to be creative in finding solutions. Creativity gives you unlimited ways to be Christ’s presence in the world.
