Genesis
1:1
"In
the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1 goes on to say in verse 27:
"So
God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God."
As a people created in the image of a creative/creator
God, it is no wonder that we love to construct, perform, design and discover.
Whether a person is a follower of Christ or hasn't yet collided with the Maker
of the universe; we are all made in the image of God. Therefore, we create.
Psalm
33:3
"Sing
a new song to Him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout."
Beauty and creativity go hand-in-hand and isn't limited
to musicians. I once heard a definition of beauty as being anything done to its
greatest level. Using that logic, a Harley Davidson, pencil drawing or fresh
baked pie could all be beautiful.
Spending time to create things that are beautiful is an exercise in worship. Using our gifts (whatever they may be) to bring glory to God is always the best use of our time. When our gifts are used to produce opportunities at work, school and anywhere else to make Him known, we see God's plan of creating creative people made perfect.

Almighty
Creator, Whose words made the heavens, Whose breath formed all the stars, You
have inspired Your people to be creative. Help me to daily find new ways to
declare Your glory. I pray that Candeo would be a place of creativity. Thank You
for creating beautiful things. Help me to see the beauty all around me. Amen.
