Creation, Part One, the beginning.

Let me begin with a quick paraphrase of the first chapter of the book of Genesis from the Bible.
In the begining God created "Everything". And when I say everything that means everything then, now and into a future that we no nothing of, yet that is.
Now let me explain where I am going with this. After "Creation" we are left with everything needed " forever". Now let's begin with Adam. God gave him a field to grow a crop in. God did not make a plow to work the field with. God did supply Adam with a forest of trees and a brain to use. Adam made his own plow with the materials he knew best. Adam used God's creation to solve his own problem. Adam worked his field and he ate food from it. We as God's sheep have lived in God's creation since the beginning with everything that we have ever needed. It really is not all about what we want. It's about what we need.
Now as a person who works in two worlds, both as an artist that finds joy in creating objects of art and as a supplier of materials used in the creation of art, it is interesting to me to see how we as artists have always had the tools and the materials to create art. We have used the materials that we best understood for what ever period of history we were a part of.
We as artist's stand at the feet of God as children, understanding and using the tools that we have created from the vast creation that God gave to us in the beginning. It is our job to use these materials to God's glory.
Amen.
