A Creative Challenge
Everyone needs something to do during isolation. Here’s a creative challenge.
Watch one of those beautiful nature films and rewrite the dialogue from the viewpoint of the God of creation. Instead of those insipid stories about a lonely salmon who wandered back home to spawn and became the survivor of the fittest hero, tell the truth.
“The bears would be hungry when they awoke from hibernation. So God gave them salmon. Thousands of salmon swimming upstream through bear country. The bears could eat their fill and still the salmon would come. Hungry bears would be satisfied and a new generation of salmon would not just survive, they would thrive.”
Never apologize for creation, exult in an endlessly creative God. “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). “He gives to the beast his food” (Psalm 147:9). “All things were created by Him and for Him” (Col. 1:16).
There’s the challenge. Go for it.
