The Philosophy Of God Involving Man In His Creative Process

We need to allow God to do His work in our life; What we have to do is to wait on Him for instructions on how to proceed. In contrast, when we try to do what only God can, we risk living a life of stress, worry, and anxiety. To have God work in our life calls for us to depend on Him and Trust Him entirely

How Does The Creating Process Happen?

For spiritual things, God takes care of them, but when it comes to the physical aspect of creating, God will give us the instruction and the go-ahead on how to handle the creation process. This act calls for us to know our place and not to do God’s work for Him. God blesses us to share in His creative process. 

You may read Genesis 2:19-20 here to get the full context, but in that verse, God created the wild animals and birds in the sky from out of the ground, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 

So, the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky, and all the wild animals. 

Our Surrender To God Aligns Us To Create With God

Being surrendered to God and walking in His will for our life, we must be aware when it is our turn to participate in the creative process. If we don’t, then God’s plan or purpose may stall – but, as Mordecai said to Esther in Esther 4:14, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” 

God’s Creative Process

Do you see what Mordecai said to Esther in that verse? He asked her, what if God has put you in your royal position for such a time as this? Mordecai knew that God needed Esther in her royal position to help protect the Jews from annihilation. 

Again, if God has to use an animal (a donkey) to fulfill His purpose, then that is what He will do – we can read what happened to Balaam and his donkey in Numbers 22:21-39

God is merciful, and as we have an intimate relationship with Him, He will give us a heads-up when it is time for us to move. 

For example, I want to share a personal testimony. I had recently come out of a season of training and pruning and was waiting on God to tell me what was next. After a few weeks, I heard The Holy Spirit give me specific instructions on how He wanted me to pray. I knew God was moving in the new season that He had me in, and I had to do my part in prayers. 

This is why the waiting period is vital; we wait until God tells us to move in a specific direction. 

I believe that as we are waiting, God is creating spiritually. When He gives us instructions to move a certain way, it causes things begin to manifest via our obedience to His directions. 

I pray that God will bless you to co-create with Him to change the world.
