Creativity [versus patterns or traditions]
“Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”
~ Proverbs 22:29
We have a tendency to conform to patterns! Instead, God wants us to transform our thinking! The Apostle Paul wrote “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
Have you ever thought that imagination and creativity might be the best way to please God and walk in His will?
Imagination and creativity go together, especially in the learning process. As creator, God is the source of creativity and has placed imagination and creativity in us as an expression of his image (Genesis 1:27).
Most problems in life need new thinking, not old ways of doing things. God has gifted you with unique abilities, plus he has given you the power of imagination and creativity. The next time you face a problem that needs a new solution, I encourage you to harness the power of imagination. Imagination leads to creativity, and creativity leads to new solutions.
My Declaration: “As a child of God, I pledge to use my God-given abilities to creatively glorify God and help others.”
Bible story: Bezalel and the building of God’s Temple (Exodus 35:30-35)
Quote: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” (Albert Einstein)
