*Proverbs 8:12, 14&22*
_* I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions._
_* Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength._
_* The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old._
*Psalms 92:5*
_* O LORD, how great are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep._
*Ecclesiastes 3:14 (AMP)*
_* I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it. And God does it so that men will [reverently] fear Him [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is]._
One major aspect of the productivity that God manifested in the beginning was the creation of excellent and sustainable structures and systems. Our last text above affirms that the things God create endure forever. They are sustainable. God created systems that replenish themselves and continue to manifest and serve their purpose to advance life. That excellence is reflected in everything from the solar system to natural resources and weather, to the plants and animal life system and then to the system of human life. Inside the human body itself, are many complex systems that work together to perpetuate the life of man. In Psalms 139:14, David said “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
As an offspring of God bearing God’s divine nature and wisdom, you also have the ability to create excellent and sustainable structures and systems. You have the wisdom of God in you, but you need to activate and stir it up. Be productive with your mind. Avoid solely filling your mind with entertainment and leisure activities. Our second text above reveals that God thinks deep thoughts and produces great works. Sharpen and train your mind and use your mind to create and produce great things.
For example, spend time to study God’s creation so that you can download ideas to build excellent structures and systems that people can apply to solve various problems and challenges in their lives. From studying the birds, some people have built airplanes for air transport and from studying the fish, others have built submarines that move under water. Beyond seeing them as things to consume, these people had insight to create transformative systems out of them. I see you creating excellent and sustainable systems and structures.
*Faith Declaration:*
By God’s life and wisdom in me, I am creating excellent and sustainable systems and structures. I am productive with my mind.
Amen
