Ecclesiastes 11:5
The Message (MSG)
5 Just as you’ll never understand the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman
So you’ll never understand the mystery at work in all that God does.
Today, there are many scientific breakthroughs making this mystery a bit less mysterious. Cell discovery and genetics give information that were beyond an unheard concept to the writer of Ecclesiastes. Even so, with the knowledge we presently have, the depth, the reality of a living child growing inside of her mother carries a living mystery.
Does it seem frustrating or daunting to think you will
never understand the mystery at work that God does?
—Why even try ?
I have better things to think about. (BE CONCERNED WITH!)
- My Job
- My Children
- My Spouse
- My Health
If you are a creative person, your mind is filled with tantalizing dreams inside just waiting to be released. You are excited. Or are you hounded with deadlines? Either way, realistically, how can you give yourself time and space, to engage in an activity that may not further your DOING?
The Creator of the Universe is God so it is impossible to understand all that He is.
RIGHT!
The truth is, The Creator, God reaches out His hand to you to join Him in the dance of life. Do you as a creative artist take time to be fed? Even when your posts do not have a Christian based theme Dallas Willard expresses you have a need. Your soul requires nourishment.
Your soul is the very center of your being. To thrive, you need to engage in the center of life which is God. How can you do this among all your other activities?
You can engage in the wonderful mystery, as you;
- Choose to slow down,
- Trust
- Walk the path God has chosen,
- Become present in the person God calls you to be.
7-8a Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine! Even if you live a long time, don’t take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour. Ecclesiastes 11 MSG
Celebration, Meditation, Solitude.
These are just a few of the many disciplines to join in the dance. I am presently on a journey to discover how the Discipline of Celebration is expanding my intimacy with God. Discovering how God is breaking the chains and setting me free will be at the heart of the posts because that is my heart for you.
Join me in the dance. How are you being set free? I have a Facebook Page you are welcome to join for questions and comments as well. You can leave a comment or question here if you want.
Remember, we are all on this creative journey together.
