Weekly Worship Team Devotional Create Something For Others

CREATE SOMETHING FOR OTHERS

From Genesis 1 in The Message. “First this: God created the Heavens and Earth – all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.”

DEVOTIONAL

The very first verse of the Bible tells us something about the way God works in the world that should cause us to sit up and take notice. God creates. From nothing, He creates. For something, He creates. God is about making things, but those things He makes always have a purpose. At the beginning of time, God creates all things, in part, for you and for me. Every shining star, every dancing rain drop – it all started from Love.

When we approach our God-given creativity, we do so as those who reflect God’s image. Unlike God, we can only make something out of something He has already allowed to run through our hands, our eyes, or our hearts. He starts the creative process in us. Why? To do what He does. He creates to show love, and to build others. We can take what seems to be insignificant to the world, and we make it into something substantial. Just like God has done with us.

Look for the hidden gems, in people and situations, that God is inviting you to touch with your creativity.

TEAM PRAYER

Lord, let me see the seemingly worthless things today, with the eyes of my Creator. I want to join you in recreating people through the creative work of my hands. Teach me to create something in response to what You’ve done in my life. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
