The Creative Mind

1 Chron. 14:14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, "Do not go straight up, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

The Philistines had come to make war with David and Israel and God had given David victory. However, they came back to try to defeat David again. This time God gives David a new battle plan to defeat his enemy.
God is a god of new things. He does not always operate in the same way. He is the Creator and is ever changing. Satan does not attack the same every time and God does not defeat him the same way either. The element of surprise is one of the greater tactics. God wants us to think creatively. Remember in the Italian Job, at the end when the bad guy tries to make a deal with Ukrainian and he has already made a deal with Mark Walberg, and the Ukrainian says “ you are right no imagination”. He was out smarted because he could not think far enough out, no imagination, no creativity.
God has given us a mind like His and He desires for us to grow and create. Christianity should not be boring because God isn’t. Live outside of the box, as a matter of fact, crush the box and live with no limits. Worship creatively, pray with imagination, talk with passion, live out vision. Be more than what You think you can be.

Lord, thank you for your word. I want to live a life that is abundant and crazy fun. Help me not to make my life or ministry work. Let me love living for you and may it infect all those around me. Let me unleash the creative mind You have given me. Amen
