"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen 1:1).

God is the source of all creativity and innovation. He created the world in seven days. He has made you to create. If God has placed an idea in your heart to do, ask the Lord for His help in bringing it to reality. He desires to see His people create new things that can serve mankind and bring glory to God. Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right."
  Faith plays an important role when considering stepping out to launch a new endeavor. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for" (Heb 11:1-2).

  Perhaps you've failed in the past and you're afraid to step out again. Most successful entrepreneurs failed several times before they were successful. Don't let fear of failure keep you from success.

  You were made to create. You were made to succeed.

Seek and you will find.

   [The apostle Paul said,] "God did this so that men would seek
him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not
far from each one of us."
    -- Acts 17:27

 Our seeking God longs to be sought! God placed his fingerprints
all over the universe and then gave us places to find life and
meaning. He had a purpose in this plan: he wanted us to seek the
One behind it all. He is never far away from us, but he longs to be
sought and found. When we seek after God, we are not only blessing
him, we're also living out our life's key task.

Heavenly Father, I long to know you more completely -- as the
old hymn says to Jesus: "Beyond the sacred page, I seek thee Lord.
My spirit pants for thee O living Word." Loving Father, I ask that
your presence would be recognizable in my daily life. I truly want
to get to know you, even as I am known by you. In the name of the
Savior I pray. Amen.
