Creative Resolutions

During this new year—let’s be mythbusters!

Let’s lay to rest forever the myth that we cannot do anything creative for God.  Destroy the myth.  Blow it to smithereens (whatever smithereens are).

What could be more inanimate and less creative than a rock?  A rock can’t sing.  Boulders cannot play basketball.  Pebbles will never give a speech.  We can skip a rock, but a rock can’t skip.  Yet Christ chose a rock to demonstrate what He can do through anything which serves Him.  When the Pharisees told Him to silence His disciples He replied, “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19:40).

The stones will cry out.  Rocks will praise Him.  Pebbles will serve Him.  Lumps of clay will become vessels of honor.  Wait a minute—that’s what the Apostle Paul said in Romans 9:21.  The Apostle Peter called us “living stones” and said our job is to offer “spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God” (I Peter 2:5).

My father kept six cans of rocks turning constantly in our garage, each with a different consistency of grit.  The end goal of the finished rock-tumbling was beautiful polished agates and other gemstones perfect for use in jewelry.  Our Father desires to polish each one of us into precious gemstones “fit for the master’s use” (II Timothy 2:21).

So—BECOME A MYTHBUSTER in 2020.  Destroy all your excuses and Dare to Walk on Water with God.  For 52 practical lessons on how to display God to the world through personal creativity, read Dare to Walk on Water: Creative Like God available from Amazon.
