As a believer of God, one must understand that the power and inspiration which he provides us with, can be found in many places. Throughout the life of a Christian, there will be times when we can’t feel the inspiration of God, and it is up to us to open our eyes, and find that special motivation which those of faith can count on.
I spoke with Calvary Houston about the many different places where we can find God, and how we can use this inspiration to make us better people, and ultimately better Christians.
The Bible
The text of the Lord is one of the best places of you to find inspiration through the many parables and stories which you can find here. The reason why so many of us still rely heavily on the Bible for inspiration is that ins site of its age, the lessons which we can find in there are still applicable to modern life. The Bible can offer inspiration in all manner of ways, be it inspiration to succeed, inspiration to help people, inspiration to love and even the inspiration to overcome adversity. Study your Bible and work hard on remembering the passages within it, do that and you will be inspired each and every day.
Prayer
Praying is our chance to talk to God, it is our moment to reach out and touch him, to ask for help, for forgiveness and ultimately, for inspiration. They say that God moves in mysterious ways and that is absolutely true when it comes to his way of answering our prayers. Praying for inspiration can greatly help you to overcome many challenges in your life, and God will come to you if you ask.
Children
God made humans in his image and there is no better place to see this than in a child, the innocence and abundance of life which they have, is surely the work of our great creator. When looking for inspiration therefore, look to children, those young boys and girls with no fear, no limits and filled with life and energy. Children are a wonderful place to gain inspiration, they are creative and can offer you a very different way of looking at things.
Nature
Whenever I am in need of inspiration from God, I know that a walk in the countryside will do just the trick. The splendour of nature is one of God’s greatest creations and within the head of a flower, the bark of a tree and the running waters of a stream, we can be reminded of how powerful God truly is, something which most definitely serves as an inspiration to me. Nature is one of the greatest accomplishments of our Lord, and walking through it, touching it and gazing upon it is a surefire way to discover his inspiration.
