 We can take encouragement from the knowledge that God is creator. Period. Others may do a really good job of imitating. But when you want pure, unfiltered, and untainted, you always seek out the original, right? There is no original that can compare to who God is. That should boost our faith when we come before God in prayer.

 There is a saying, "Another day another dollar", which is a different way of saying same story, different day. I like to approach life with an attitude of 'another day, another blessing". Truly understanding that without God granting me life, I would not exist. Giving him thanks each day is a small thing and I don't want to become someone who is to busy to do that.

In life, we encounter plenty of struggles. Some more challenging than others. Through all those circumstances, we should be careful not to put limitation on who God is and what he can do. As the verses this week have shown, God is the maker of all things. There is no mountain he can't move on our behalf if we trust him to do so. Let our faith and our trust in him for the impossible be as big as God truly is.

In acknowledging God as the creator of all things, it becomes easier to see a reflection of Him in his children. Afterall, that's the imagery we see each day with our own families. How many people have you encountered who look like near clones of their mother or father? Sometimes, it's not just their natural characteristics. It's in their behavior, the way they talk or think. That's how we should be as children of God. So, when we encounter those that do not reflect godly characteristics, we have reason to believe that they are not His children.

When we look at God as creator, we should look beyond what we understand in the natural order of things. Yes, He created earth, man, and creature. But without His say so, even our emotions would not exist. The creator of it all, of course, would know how to love us better than we can ourselves. That's the kind of hope we can hold on to each day. He knows and He understands. God didn't have to put in hours to earn the title "master artist". Life is because He is. Trust His direction.
