Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
There are three theological concepts about the way God
created the world. 1. Ex nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning "out of
nothing". 2. Ex materia - creation out of some
pre-existent, eternal matter and 3. Ex deo - creation out of the being of God. Frankly what’s done is done in my book. We’re here and we believe God is the creator
whether from nothing, something or his own being. Speaking of creation, I
watched a new show last night, “Craft Wars.”
Competitors were given a group of items from which to create a specified
project – a duffle bag, a playhouse.
They could also use other materials and tools in the studio. Crafting is about looking at materials in a
new way. Perhaps that’s a good way to
craft life. We’re presented with a set
of elements – demands on our lives, relationships, goals, and resources. The
more we can creatively combine those elements (with God’s help) the more
options we have to make life great.
Creator
God, we marvel at your creation and know that you continue to create and renew
the earth. Help us to become co-creators with you, taking the life you have given
us and creating something beautiful and pleasing to ourselves and to you. Amen.Have a creative day!
