Day 7 | LENS OF THE FATHER

The Lord will open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.” Deuteronomy‬ ‭28‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Deuteronomy 28:12 reminds us that God blesses the work of our hands! This is a promise from God. When you submit your creative process to Him, you’re not giving up control, you’re inviting Him in as the Master Editor. He’s not here to tear your work apart. He’s here to make it shine.

When you edit your work, like writing, music, design,or even your thoughts, you’re not just fixing mistakes. You’re shaping something to reflect more of what it was always meant to be. You recognize value in the process. Maybe something stands out at first glance, but when you sit with it longer, you discover even more beauty. That’s how God sees you, too.

Editing isn’t just spelling and grammar. Its structure, clarity, tone, and even purpose. It’s asking, “Does this reflect the truth? Does it lead people toward life?” In the same way, God is constantly shaping you through refining and polishing. Like a diamond hidden in stone, the brilliance was always there, but it takes skill and intention to bring it to light.

Therefore, don’t push aside your creative tendencies. Embrace them. Let God meet you in the process. As you express what’s inside you and refine it with Him, you’ll see how even the editing becomes a sacred space to encounter His presence.

PRAYER

Lord, thank You for blessing the work of my hands. I believe your Word! Remind me of Your promises, workings, and gifting in my life today and show me how to glorify you with it. Amen.

APPLICATION

• Where in your creative process have you been holding back from God? What would it look like to invite Him into your editing, refining, or reviewing?
• Take a piece of your work and ask God to help you see it with fresh eyes. What might He be highlighting? What needs polishing or refining?
