Many of us have ambition. We have
the drive to be something greater than what we are at the moment. It seems like
mankind almost has an innate desire to progress to different levels of
greatness. I believe that everyone is built to do something in this world.
Where do I get this idea from? I get it from God’s word, the Bible. In the
Bible it states that we are made in the image of God. We are like God in many
ways. One of the things we were built to do is create. God is the creator so we
naturally create. Everyone is creating something. The important questions we
should be asking ourselves is “What do we create” and “why”. In the Bible it’s
clear that man is fallen, you can read about that in Genesis Chapter 3 and
Romans 3:23. Because Mankind is falling we are prone to do the opposite of what
God wants us to do so because of that man will fall to many sins but the one I
want to focus on is laziness. We know that we have to create something. Inside
us we are wired to manifest some type of idea. You might have been predestined
to create a rap career, a business, a basketball career, and political policies
or maybe you were created to create a better social environment for the planet.
Whatever idea God planted in your mind differs from millions of others in some
unique way. One of the issues is how well you execute that idea. You are either
going to log in the appropriate amount of hours to be successful or you’re
going to be lazy to some degree. It’s very hard to live out what we were
originally designed to do in the Garden of Eden (Genesis) because we struggle
with things like laziness and pride. So many times as believers in Christ we
create mediocre material. We need to allow God’s spirit to work in us and
discipline us to overcome the desire to sit on our gifts. Another issue is that
many of us create for ourselves. We don’t use our gifts for our creator. A lot
of us are the greatest that will ever live at what we do but I have shocking
news for you if you don’t create for the advancement of the Kingdom of God it
means absolutely nothing. Many believers live like this. They may believe in
Jesus Christ and trust in his saving grace but just because they are fireproof doesn’t
mean they aren’t wasting their life. Some people know the truth about what they
should be doing and how but just ignore God’s call; others don’t even want God
at all they rather live for themselves. We all are inspired to create for
different reasons. You are either inspired to be the best you can be in order
to change the world for the Glory of God (Are purpose is to worship/give glory
to God) or you are inspired to create for (yourself/wing it). We all want to
create something in some way but if you want to create for the right reason you
need to have the right motive/desire. You can only have that if God puts the
right desire in you. If you want to be free from sin (Heaven or Hell) and live
your life for the Glory of God instead of fleeting fortune and fame put your
faith in Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) and repent from your sins. Be inspired
to go pass the surface thoughts of life and dive into your purpose. Be inspired
to do everything for God’s glory (1 Corinthians 10:31). Let Jesus Christ be
your inspiration. If you are a believer let God inspire you to do work for his
glory at higher levels. Bless
