Still Creating

Psalms 139:14 (KJV) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

(Proverbs 11 also read)

In this Psalm David is talking about how God individually molded who he was going to be.  You can look at the previous verse for more insight into that.  What struck me with this is one of the attributes of God, or what I consider His attribute, is being creative.  We, except in the beginning of the Bible where it tells us God created the heavens and the Earth, leave that behind.  Many sometimes think that He went on vacation after that.  We accuse the Deists of thinking this way.  In reality, I think many of us believe it’s kind of like a hands-off God.

Not so fast.  While it’s possible, the God of the extremes of the universe is still creating new galaxies and whatever else He has up there, here in our hometown we forget to apply that.  We know He is busy if we just pause think about how each human being is created in the womb, unique, one of a kind, in the image of God.

What I believe that means is that when we are conceived, we are given all of the attributes we need in order to live a holy and righteous life.  We are given everything we need in order to follow where God wants to go.  We have moral choice.  This is where it gets to a level that is beyond me.  How can that first fertilized egg have the ability to make moral choices?  I don’t have a clue.  But I know that God made that individual with the ability to achieve eternity with Him.

So?  What are you doing with your uniqueness?  Are you using it for the glory of God or just to have a rich life now?
