WORD FOCUS: IMAGINATION AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE
TEXT: Psalms 50:12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof…”
The Bible says, ‘…God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.’ (Gen 2:7). Until then, we were just inanimate lumps of clay in human form. At that point God breathed into us two important things:
1) IMAGINATION. It distinguishes us from all other living creatures. It’s what makes us capable of going to the moon, inventing the Internet, having a dream, and worshipping our Creator. Even when God gives you a concept; you must work to make it a reality. God said, ‘The world and all that is in it is mine.’ That means that when you are getting ready to build and you only have a few bricks, you can pray for more bricks and God will give them to you.
It also means that instead of complaining about what you don’t have, you look at what you do have, and what you can make of it with God’s help.
2) FREEDOM OF CHOICE. God has empowered you with the ability to make the right choices and act on them. Honestly, God has given you this ability, don’t try to do it alone. Jesus said, ‘What is born of… [The physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit’ (John 3:6 AMP). Always depend on the Holy Spirit. He’s called ‘the Helper’ for a reason. Jesus promised His disciples, ‘You shall receive power [ability, efficiency and might] when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…’ (Acts 1:8 AMP). Imagination and freedom of choice-use them to glorify God. Thank You Lord for the power of your Spirit that is working in me to do exploits to your glory Amen.
