GOD THE ARTIST


GOD THE ARTIST
At four years old, Cindy loved to draw. One day her teacher gave her design to copy. The eager student asked if she could make her own design. When the teacher said no, something died within her. Now, many years later, when she talks about that moment, she still fights back tears.
           When God blessed Noah’s family, he emphasized the fact that humans have great value because they are created in his own very image.
God’s creativity found its ultimate expression when he “sculptured” living creatures in his own likeness. As such, man & woman could also be imaginative and creative.
             Every person is made in the image of our creative God. Therefore, everyone has the ability to be creative. There are no exceptions!
When we develop our God-given creative potential, we honor the one who gave it to us.
     Were your creative abilities stifled? Perhaps you think that creativity belongs only to a gifted few. Guys please, try to deal with whatever disappointment or resentment you may have encountered in your formative years & consider ways to develop and express the creative potential God has placed within you. It is not too late to begin!

A MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE?

Paulina cradled her aching head in her hands,weeping softly and trying to make sense of her troubled life.
   She once had so much going on for her:great looks,a promising career,supportive friends and a sincere faith in God. then she met Alan.He was everything she'd ever wanted in a guy.She didn't tell her christian friends when Alan suggested that they move in together, she felt they wouldn't understand.All that mattered was being with Alan, she was sure their relationship would last.
Sadly,it didn't. Paulina drifted away from her friends and God. And after she and Alan split up,she wondered through several more relationships and religions in a futile search to find meaning in life.
      What is the meaning of life?
The conclusion of Paulina and many others is the same as the teachers in Ecclesiastes: "Everything is meaningless" WE ONLY FIND LIFE--& MEANING --IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
  King Solomon experienced the tragic consequences meaninglessness when he turned his back on God (see 1kings 11).
The book of Ecclesiastes is believed to be his picture of the empty search for meaning in life when God is just a distant memory.
     Have you drifted from God your creator like Paulina & Solomon? stop!. take a moment to converse with God right now and ask him to show you the meaning of life.

GOD'S FINGERPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE

GOD'S FINGERPRINTS ARE EVERYWHERE.
God is a fabulous communicator! he has never been silent, he speaks to us through every-thing in his creation.Evidence of him can be heard, seen, felt and even tasted.(amazingly awesome isn't he?).
                                  He uses the sun-rise to declare his faithfulness; a mother's touch to show his gentleness; and the fruits of the earth to reveal his sweetness & generosity.
      Psalm 19 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God.....Day after day they pour forth speech. "We only have to open our eyes to see his fingerprints on the heaves and earth.
       Now check this out!
                                        How could so many things in nature, working together in such perfect rhythm, collective harmony, orchestral symphony & in absolute unity,be anything  but the creation an awesome cool* God?.(like the young ones say these days,"cool")
   That is why the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:20. "For since the creation of the world God's in-visible qualities---his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
    Those who haven't found proof of God from his creation simply aren't looking.
how has God spoken to you through his creation? get insights now from his words. Psalm 8;104; 148; Mathew 16:2-3.

THINK OF HIS GREATNESS

 THINK ON HIS GREATNESS.
HOW BIG is God? This question is more than an abstract theological consideration.
It is a real response to life's difficult challenges .
   When we are feeling down,we might wonder if God is big enough to care about" little old me" or if he is big enough to solve a current crisis.
        Well, he certainly does care, and he is all-powerful!The scripture gives us a glimpse of his greatness.but the more we meditate on these truths about the nature & character of the almighty,the more faith we will have to face the struggles of life. Leaders like Joshua,David and Nehemiah overcome huge obstacles by focusing on God's greatness rather than on their own weakness. Focusing on our own weaknesses depresses us and further weakens us the more but when we solely focus on Gods greatness and might, it elevates us to heights we never thought we could attain.
                          Of course, we can never know all there is to know about this great God we serve. he is infinite--without beginning or end.But as big as he is, he still cares about the seemingly insignificant details of our daily lives.
   Read through these psalms to discover more of God's characters: psalms, 17:7-9; 25:6-9; 57:9-11;  66:3-4; 69:13-18; 77:12-15; 86:10.
 What does these truths about God mean to your life?. start reading and find out!!!!!!

HAVE YOU ASKED THE LORD?

IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE ENJOY AS GOD'S CHILDREN, IT IS THE FACT THAT HE (OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN)  LISTENS TO OUR REQUESTS & THOUGHTS IN PRAYERS.PRAYERS ARE   OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE ALMIGHTY,A DIALOGUE WITH THE OWNER OF THE HEAVENS & ALL THAT IS BENEATH IT, IF THE ABOVE FACT IS ASCERTAINED, THEN WHY DON'T  WE AS CHRISTIANS WAIT ON HIM IN PRAYERS CONSTANTLY REMINDING HIM OF HIS PROMISES TO US AS HIS CHILDREN! & AS WE ALL KNOW OUR GOD IS A KEEPER OF HIS WORDS
