Lindskoog: God's reality

Saturday, November 23, 2019
    Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100
Meditation:
    The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
    —Genesis 2:15 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There are great limits upon the human imagination. We can only rearrange the elements God has provided. No one can create a new primary color, a third sex, a fourth dimension, or a completely original animal. Even by writing a book, planting a garden, or begetting a child, we never create anything in the strict sense; we only take part in God’s creation.
    ... Kathryn Lindskoog (1934-2003), C. S. Lewis, Mere Christian, Glendale, Cal.: G/L Publications, 1973, reprint, Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1981, p. 48 (see the book)
    See also Gen. 2:15; John 1:1-3; Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 8:5-6; Col. 1:15-17; Rev. 4:11
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, we acknowledge that You are the originator of all that is.
