In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
And God said, …
— Genesis 1:1-3, ESV.
In the beginning, God created everything from nothing. He is the original creator.
We are sub-creators. We create only from what has been created. One of the reasons I enjoy outdoor photography is because it embodies the very concept of capturing or reflecting the reality of what has already been created.
Because we are made in the image and likeness of a Maker, we can all make. (Genesis 1:26). Using our creative imaginations we can step into the picture above, stand on the shores of Lake Winnebago, and ponder the glory of God. We could even write a short story or description of the experience.
Near the waters,
he hovers,
we stand.
He creates,
so do we.
He blesses,
we receive.
