On my other blog, I was writing a devotional based on the following verse,
Psalm 104:30 (KJV) Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
When I shut down my iPad and went back to meditation and thinking about God, my mind turned again to the creativity of God. I’m thinking that creativity may be another one of His attributes. And looking at the verse in Psalms, it came to me that His creating power is not over.
I’m guessing that God is still creating new species. I seriously doubt that He is doing it through the process of evolution except for the fact that any change I guess could be called evolutionary. God doesn’t mean it the way the pagans do. I’m guessing that most of His creativity takes place either on the level of insects or tiny animals or else out in the jungle someplace where no human being sees it. God is constantly working miracles, but He does them in the vagueness of mystery. One of the things about mysteries is that we will often not know until it’s too late to really appreciate it.
I got to thinking about how each and every human being that is conceived in the womb becomes a new creation. In some way, God digs down deep in the multiple choices of DNA and genetic qualities and comes up with a unique, original human being. God has not given up His creative power. I would venture a guest that the constant joy of creating new human beings takes a lot of His enthusiasm for creativity. I’m not sure how much He has left for creating new species.
Environmentalist worry about how cutting down the rainforest may be be destroying life-saving medication’s and natural cures for disease. I guess it’s possible. My suggestion would be they would never be discovered, even if we didn’t cut down the forest. My other suggestion would be that in spite of cutting down the forest, God is quite capable of creating new bugs or buds that will provide these miracle drugs.
If it’s this exciting now, I wonder how God’s creativity will be applied in eternity.
