Creative Partnership
As I begin reading my Bible through again this year, it occurs to me that we were created for a creative partnership!
The Creator created us in His image, and commissioned us to “be fruitful and multiply”. (Gen. 1:27-28)
God created the resources for man, but then asked man to work with the resources to create & multiply vegetation in the Garden – in his world. (Gen. 2:15)
God created all living things – the animals, insects, birds, and He brought them to the man to name them. (Gen 2:19-20)
From the beginning, God involved us – partnered with us in the creative process. God does what only He can do, and calls us to do what we can do.
God saw that man had a need for multiplied partnership – a helper, a mate in the creative process. So, again, he partners with man in the creative process. Adam gave a rib. God used what Adam gave to create a partner. (Gen. 2:21-22) We partner with God in the creative process when we give back to Him from the resources He has already blessed us with. Using what we give, God multiplies. We do what we can, He does what only He can!
If you want 2012 to be a year of creativity and multiplication, partner with the Creator! When you give from your time, your tithe (That 10% of the income God has blessed you with – Mal. 3:10), from your resources back to God, you are partnering with Him in the creative process, so He can bring multiplication into your life!
