"Creator's Incentive"

"The heaven's are telling of the glory of God;

And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands."

(Psalm 19:1)

"Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm, on my holy hill.

Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day

of the LORD is coming.  It is close at hand --"

(Joel 2:1)

‎

The essence of Almighty God is made known and reflected in the "dust" that "He" has formed by His hand, and "our" individual personalities are evidenced by our God-given creative abilities.  In other words, people know who we are by what we do.  God had a motive in creating the heavens and the earth; He wanted creation to live in holy bliss in the Garden of Eden.  But, the sinful nature of man changed the program, and the Word had to become flesh, be born of a virgin, die on a rugged cross, and rise again to redeem sinful mankind, and put it on a road back to the Garden  ...  the plan is still in progress, headed for the final crescendo.  The "dust" of the earth that would be redeemed, and formed into marvelous human "idea" machines, was our Lord God's motive; it was the exclusive "Creator's Incentive."

"Day to Day pours forth speech, and night to night

reveals knowledge."

(Psalm 19:2)

God is eternal and His creative ability is continuing.  It was not a hardship to cast satan and 1/3 of the angels out of heaven with him, because God can create more angels at the blink of His eye.  We should not fear anything if we are children of the King, because we are not serving a "novice;" Our Lord God Was the first "Inventor" of all things, and He can reinvent our lives and make them new at any moment.  Our circumstances can change at any second; deliverance can come at the move of His hand; hope rides on wings of omnipotent Glory; we serve the First and the Last  ...  we are in good hands.  Furthermore, His wisdom and knowledge can become our knowledge.  "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 2:5)   Would you like to invent something?  Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are ours for the asking  ...  When was the last time we asked for them?

"The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The

testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.  The

precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The 

commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The 

judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous 

altogether.  They are more desirable than gold, yes, than

much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings 

of the honeycomb."

(Psalm 19:7-10)

Knowing that "We," who are the saved and sanctified in Jesus Christ our Lord, have this treasure and vast abundance of wisdom, knowledge and understanding at our beck and call, where is "our" creator's incentive?  "What?" you ask.  "We," the saved and redeemed of the Lord, have the capacity to be trailblazers, inventors, discoverers, finders of hidden treasures, producers of mind-blowing movies and films, writers of world renown dramas and plays, songwriters, poets, authors  ...  And, many of us already are these things and headed for greater things  ...  But, what about You? Who me? Yes, You!  There's no time like the present  ... it's time to bloom  ...

The spotlight is on You!

The greatest in YOU is yet to be seen!  You say, "But, I don't have any of those special things; I've never done anything spectacular or noteworthy."  Then, You are the one God is looking for.  Why?  Because, possibly, what You do will be for the Glory of Him.  Little is much in the hands of God, and those who know that everything they are, everything they do, everything they can or will be, is "because of Him," are ripe for the choosing.

It's time to blow the trumpets in Zion!  Worship, praise, make music unto the Lord on all manner of instruments, lift our voices to the One who created us, renew the Tabernacle of David and rejoice over our mighty omnipotent Creator!  Blow your trumpet, tickle those keys, strum those guitars, beat the drums, let the violins sing, bring forth the instruments for praise to the One who put the song in our hearts!  Shout Hallelujah, sing with the voice of triumph   ...  it's practice here  ...  for there!

We've started on a new path, with the presence of the Lord so close.  The last lap will be triumphant for His Church!  His glorious "bride" will glow like the rays of the noonday sun; she will have garments untold; she will cast off her veil so that her brightness covers the earth; her invitation to the wedding will be read in every Nation, kindred and tongue; her Hope Chest will be overflowing with "gifts" for the use of the Bridegroom  ...  And, her "incentive" for all this "creativity" will be to fill the table at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and it just so happens, that it is also the "Creator's Incentive."
