Fashion & God

I came close to laughing out loud in store this week. They were selling bell-bottom pants, that looked like they could have come from both my childhood and my mother’s childhood. It is a well-known fact that in fashion, if you just wait long enough, that skirt or that shirt will be trendy again.
What’s old really will be new, because, though they would be insulted by this statement: Designers have limited creativity, as a necessary reflection of their finiteness. Their brains have limited capacity, experience, and ability. Thus, every 20 years, like clockwork, they rework, repurpose and recycle their ideas, and we can buy bell-bottoms again.
God’s creativity however is unlimited, as a necessary reflection of His infinity. He is perfect in capacity, experience, and ability. He is never stumped and forced to use the same idea or concept twice – unless He wants to. He never has to give anyone the same gifts or circumstances or personality or skills. He always looks at the drawing board of our lives with perfect knowledge and insight ready to do a new thing.
​The question is: Have we joined Him in what He is doing?
