Be Creative
“The universe is God’s work of art. God’s creation established the foundational necessities-the physical, aesthetic, and human realities- that make subsequent art possible.” -Gene Edward Veith, Jr., Author One must actively seek inspiration. Inspiration does not seek people out nor does it tend to appear magically when we need it. It is tough to get inspired while sitting in a room that is familiar to you. So where do you go for inspiration? Get closer to nature, the work of a creative hand. The Psalmist states, “The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament (earth) shows His handiwork.” (Ps. 19 :1, the New King James Version). Step outdoors; look, observe natural things. TRY IT: Go outdoors and away from your house if possible. Look up at the sky. Look down at the ground. Look to distant scenes. Find inspiration.
