... about what God creates new every day!

When we make something, we usually make it with the combination of something and something else, like a furniture-maker makes his craft out of various pieces of wood “put together”. This is not to be confused with creation. Creation is the fashioning of something out of nothing, like how artists put their craft to a blank canvas and it comes alive with color and form. Creation is how a poet puts words on an empty piece of paper and it describes, implores, and moves.

God is a creator; The Creator. He didn’t just do it for six days and that’s it. He continually creates. He creates for us something different for us to see, participate in, and live through every day. Frederich Buechner says this: “Using the same old materials of earth, air, fire, and water, every 24 hours God creates something new out of them. If you think you’re seeing the same show all over again seven times a week, you’re crazy. Every morning you wake up to something that in all eternity never was before was and never will be again. And the you that wakes up was never the same before and will never be the same again either.”

So it is with our Creator God. No wonder the author of Job says in 38:7 (MSG), “While the morning stars sang in chorus and all the angels shouted praise?” and the author of Lamentations says that: “But there's one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: God’s loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left!” (3:21-24, MSG). God blesses us with his creation every day. It’s up to us to find them, recognize them, and realize they are there for us! Let us always thank God for being our Creator and let us search for what he’s creating for us new each day. I don’t know, it might just help us on our journey .

Here's some of what he creates for me every day:
