His Creative Mind

In Job's life the devil was a major influence, but God was sovereign over all the details. God used the Behemoth and the Leviathan in His discussion with Job to display His power over everything. Pointing out the incredible, descriptive details about those creatures, God naturally asked Job and all of humanity - Who then can compare to me as The Creator and Sustainer? If humans cannot stand against such fearsome and awesome creatures as the Behemoth and Leviathan, what success does one think he/she might have with The Creator and Sustainer of these beasts and all creation?

Later in the New Testament, Paul would echo this strong declaration of Creator and Sustainer-God when he said -

"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (Colossians 1:16-17)

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27

Only Yahweh is Omni or All. But God has always been and still is personally invested and involved with His creation. He was so invested He made us in His image, originally like Him in character and desire to create.

The human has been doing this throughout history up to the present - they create. There have been Christians and non-believers that have made major contributions to inventions throughout history that have not brought God any glory. There have been others that do give God the credit for their inspiration and creativity of the idea. 

Whether acknowledged or not, humanity cannot escape the evidence of God in the details of creation and life. Scripture speaks to God being in the details of nature and humanity when it says -

"In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." - Job 12:10

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." - Romans 1:20

And ever since God placed man in the Garden of Eden, He has been guiding humanity visibly or invisibly, audibly or by inspiration to bless us with the inventions that have changed and made such an impact on the entire world throughout the ages.

Just some of the areas of jumps in creativity that we have made are - travel, cooking, city/home plumbing, washing and making of clothes, electricity and the lightbulb, the phone, trains, flight and automobiles.

Much of this has come in a rush of time - the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. I believe Daniel was told about the times we are living in now when the angel said to him - "But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." (Daniel 12:4)

Everything can always be improved upon. People, places and things are in an eternal state of a work-in-progress. The moment we believe we have plateaued or arrived, that is the moment we have lost. The question is - what will humanity now use their creativity to make?

For the believer in Christ, we have a helper - the Holy Spirit. He was sent after Christ ascended to the right hand of Father God to be our advocate, counselor and help. He is the one that will continue to develop the inventions in us and bring out His Creative Mind.
