God’s creative power is a dynamic work within the believer. Perhaps an untapped resource. A power greater than human comprehension, that can even create new life in the sinner through Christ’s resurrection when we accept His invitation of salvation.

He came to the door of your heart and knocked. You invited Him into your life and said, “Yes” to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Surrendering to God’s will facilitates changes in our sinful nature on life’s journey to become more and more like Him.

God creates in us a clean heart. And when we cooperate with God, His creative power manifests in unexpected ways.

Just like that mishap today that made everything uncomfortable with fist clenching fixes and lots of prayer to our creative God. The mistake honest. But now what?

A defeated self might say, “I can’t do anything right.” But with some creative problem solving our brains learn from the mistake, and take notes to prevent a reoccurrence.

God may even surprise us with input from an unexpected source. Like the lady bumped with the grocery cart. Blurting out the very words needed regarding the desperate situation.

And certainly, letting go of what other’s think of the blunder. Let their thoughts remain their business.

We can let go and let God and thank Him for the next step and creative plan of action.

Or maybe my mindset needs to change from a negative skew to the positive. A gratitude check may help. Gratitude has the power to change pessimism to optimism by mere force of focus and looking for the good in situations, surroundings, people, places and things.  

A positive gander may lead to a positive solution for the recent blunder. Always a good thing.

Creativity cooperates with God in mishaps.
