Useful Creativity

Your creations are useful and important to God. Did you ever think of that? He used many creative people to serve Him throughout the Bible and beyond

Don’t discount your creativity as just a hobby or just a thing to do. It has a place and a purpose. Look at these situations in the Bible when God used creative people to further his plan.

The Lord said to Moses,  “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship,  to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze,  in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. Exodus 35:1-5 ESV

He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer Exodus 35:35 ESV

So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. Jeremiah 18:3 ESV

Throughout the centuries we have seen artists and creative people depict God or religious situations on order to understand them better. It could be said then that your own personal creative journey is also helping you to understand His work in your life.

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable Romans 11:29 ESV

By creating out of a love for creation, a desire for meaning and a new perspective on life, you are also pursuing a greater understanding of your Creator.

Creating is a form of worship to God. He sees you use your talents and giftings to create beauty and add to His glory on this earth. And that pleases His heart. To create is a reflection of His love and of His very being. Let that thought sink in today and take time to worship him through your creating.

He has made everything beautiful in its time Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV

Blessings of Beauty
