Think About It!

I've just recently subscribed to Collide Magazine's RSS feed. In their October 1 post there's a great article about the difference between improvement and innovation. It's so easy to get into the trap of always trying to improve things, whereby neglecting innovation.

God is all about innovation rather than improvement. For example, salvation is an innovative work. God didn't improve us, he completely re-engineered us by the power of his Holy Spirit. The work of God in and through us by his Spirit on an ongoing basis is not simply an improvement of our fleshly efforts and strength. His supernatural grace and strength come to us every morning, available for whatever he has for us at that time. Life in the Spirit is competely and utterly innovative. Therefore, my prayer is, "Lord, open my eyes to see your innovative work around me. And speak to me about the innovative things you want me to give myself to via your strength and power.
