The battery

A popular theologian once wrote that: 'A while back I bought an interesting torch. Before I decided to buy it I asked the saleslady how long the battery would last. "As long as you do," she replied. "What do you mean?" I queried. "You are the battery," she explained. "There's no battery inside. You have to pump the handle at the bottom of the flashlight to make it light up." I tried it, and sure enough I generated the power needed to make it light up! As soon as I stopped pumping the light went out... If we make the right commitment to an idea but it seems impossible...pray... and keep pumping.' Bright ideas will come our way - ideas that come from GOD (Isaiah 48:17).
Albert Einstein said, it's important that we never stop asking questions, or lose our holy curiosity. GOD'S WORD says HE 'forms the mountains...creates the wind, and reveals HIS thoughts to man.'  Let us imagine tapping into the resources of a GOD WHO knows we and can fill our mind with imaginative, inspired, innovative 'thoughts'. JESUS knows the mind of GOD, the plans of GOD, the will of GOD and the purposes of GOD because HE is GOD. And Paul says, 'We understand these things, for we have the mind of CHRIST' (1 Corinthians 2:16). Creativity has been built into every one of us. Each of us lives less of the life GOD intended when we choose not to release the creative powers we possess.
When we tap into GOD'S creativity, HE helps us to see things not as they are, but as they can be. And that can change our life! AMEN
