I've heard people say it allot. "God is so creative" But I just recently truly got what that means. Hears the thing; humans praise themselves all the time for being creative. whether it's through writing, or music, or art, or whatever. But in the end, we are just copy-cats. Not just us, but every human EVER!
Think about this for a second. Mozart may have written sonatas when he was ten, but God invented music! Rembrandt may have painted some pretty amazing things, but God created all of them first. And what about all those books we read, and think, "man, how do people think of story lines like this?" Well even those great scorelines are about people, which God made, and are expressed with words (which God also thought of). So if these people, the best of the best are just copy-cats, and we aren't even as good as them, than we should be allot more humble than we are.
Now I'm not saying that our talents are nothing, but just that we need to realize that God is the only one who was ever truly creative. And without him, we would have nothing to draw or paint or wright about or sing about. This is why we should do everything for the glory of God. In the end, they will glorify Him anyway, because they are all his. Isn't it better to glorify Him willingly, than to try and glorify your self, and end up glorifying God anyway, but look like a fool in the proses?
So that's my thought, and maybe it's one of those things that everyone will read and be like, "Duh Beth, this is kind of common knowledge." But oh well.
I love this reminder Beth.
ReplyDeleteI also think that the fact that God created words for us is pretty amazing.
So thank you for posting. :)
Duh Beth, this is kind of common knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI'm just kidding. In fact, I wish this was common knowledge. I can name 10 people off the top of my head that need to realize stuff like this, and not because of pride necessarily but because they just don't know or want to know God.
We did this project in science the other day where we unrolled a whole thing of toilet paper on the floor. We looked at how far in miles each planet was from the sun and then scaled it down to meters. We also looked at how big each planet is and scaled than down to millimeters. We then plotted the sun on one end of the toilet paper role. (taking into account the correct diameter as per the millimeters on our scale.)
After we did this we began plotting the planets taking all our numbers into account.
Earth's diameter was one millimeter.
At around 19 meters long, jupiter couldn't fit onto the roll.
We are a speck, on a speck, in a speck, on a speck of how many ever specks.
Mrs. Speicher was talking about all of this and then she told a story about how she went shopping and all these women were fighting over the $5 dollar shirt on the clearance rack.
I thought, "Oh my gosh! Wow. If I am just a speck on a speck ect. then that shirt is like......speckier. And when you scale it down, we aren't just in the palm of God's hand. A creator that big, we are smaller than a speck on a cell on his finger. And that shirt is like........non-exist! It doesn't even like....matter."
I was so in awe of what I had realized, I was speechless all hour.
Beth beth! you make me think.
