In case of creative emergency break the glass cage of routine

I've heard this before, but haven't acted on it much. Why? prolly b/c my routine is comfortable and safe. Why would I leave it. But when I leave it, is when God speaks the clearest to me. Perhaps b/c I have stepped out in faith, I have given up my comforts, to be on God's timeline, to be at His decision to speak to me, relying on him and Him alone, beucase all I know is gone.

Especially in creation, perhaps b/c it is something God has created, but so are humans, the internet, books and coffee. But perhaps in creation, or at least parts of it that have not been misused and abused yet, help us feel God more clearly, it is unadultered beauty.

It helps us re-create and create. Perhaps when I have nothing I am comfortable with or acustomed to, to help me hear God's voice; is actually when I hear His voice best. Becuase His ways are higher then ours.

Simple Faith

No doubt I appreciate my PC Study Bible, google search, youtube, commentaries, internet and books. And no doubt I do believe that they are tools that God uses to help equip us to expound upon His word. But just as any tool, they can become a crutch and can soon control us. They can control our creative process, they can even hinder us from hearing from God, when they are supposed to help us better understand what God has spoken to us.

Sometimes my faith is in my tools to help me communicate God's word. I believe more in the tools then the toolmaker. Today I had just my Bible and a notebook. All I could do was listen to God speak and write it down. I was stuck, but stuck with the only things I needed, a heart to listen and faith that God would speak. And that He did.

God often speaks most clearly to us when, we are most desperate for Him. When we have exhausted all other options, we seek His face. God lvoes to use our weakness and foolishness and remind us its not about us. But its all for His glory
