The key to playing God is Don't

A blank page is God’s way of showing you how hard it is to be God. – Anon

Left to their own devices the best the Israelites could do was to make a ‘golden calf’ for their god. It only got them in trouble. Hmm!

Creativity – it’s a beautiful thing when done right, but it is oh so hard at times. I’m sure we can all think back to times we had in school when we had to write 6, 10, 12+ page essays and all we could do was just look at the blank pages. Or maybe you had to do a job performance review and tried 12 different ways to define ‘meets expectations’ in a positive creative way. It’s not easy. But yet we often quickly believe we can play God in most circumstances in ours and others lives. God wants us in His story, He doesn’t want a story by us. Each day He is writing a part for each of us to fulfill, and if we seek Him out, our lives won’t have so many erasure marks on the page.

Until tomorrow…..
