Ideas that bless us abundantly

Ann Kenrick

In any creative endeavor, whether we're an artist, a writer, a homemaker, a teacher, or an entrepreneur, we look for fresh and innovative ways to express the useful thoughts that are constantly flowing to us. We may sometimes pause and ask ourselves, "Where do these thoughts come from?" Some people may conclude that they originate in the human brain and are therefore dependent on our particular inheritance, environment, or education. But others acknowledge that God is the only creator and therefore the source of all intelligence.

Christ Jesus' life illustrated this. He understood his relationship to God as that of Son to Father, and he looked to his Father for the spiritual concepts he needed to carry out his mission as Teacher and Saviour. He represented Christ, the spirit of God, in everything he said and did. Christ opens the door of infinite possibilities to mankind, and through the illumination of spiritual understanding brings a wealth of creative ideas to humanity.

Now, how can all this help us today if we are stuck for a way to complete a project—either one of our own or one that will improve the lives of others? We can turn to God in prayer and humbly acknowledge Him as the source of our intelligence.
