Creativity

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
Colossians 1:16

You are the offspring of a very creative God. The Bible says: 'By Him all things were created.' It also says: '...We have the mind of Christ' (1Corinthians 2:16). That means you were born with creativity! But how can you discover and release your creativity?

Solomon says: 'Where there is no vision the people perish' (Proverbs 29:18). Every great accomplishment begins as a vision of what can be. The remarkable thing is a vision has the power to fuel its own fire. Often a 'genius' is just somebody who shoots at a target nobody else sees, and hits it. Although we have all been warned about crossing bridges before we get to them, the prize belongs to those who cross bridges in their mind ahead of everybody else. Woodrow Wilson said, 'The man who sees no vision, will undertake no great enterprise.'

Others might be smarter, more educated and more experienced, but they do not have a monopoly on ideas. Chances are there is a creative idea inside you right now just waiting to be released. By not tapping into it you are settling for less than God wants you to have.

So whatever you have always wanted to do, write, paint, play the piano, build a business, nurse, teach, pastor, do it now! If you wait until you can do it perfectly you will never start. Walking on water begins with one step. It also brings you closer to Jesus than staying in the boat. Jesus is not in the boat - He is out on the water saying: 'Come.' Why don’t you obey Him today and see what happens?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I know I can’t walk on water if I don’t get out of the boat and keep my eyes on you and trust you in all that I do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
