DEVOTIONAL
Every creative understands the weight of editing. You rewrite, adjust, refine, remove, and restructure until the work resembles what you envisioned. But have you ever allowed God to edit your work? Psalm 32:8 promises that God will guide you along the best pathway for your life and advise you with His loving eye on you. That includes your creative path. God is not only the Author of your calling. He is the Editor of your journey.
Sometimes God cuts what you wanted to keep. He removes opportunities you thought were perfect. He closes doors you thought you needed. At times, He expands ideas you were prepared to shrink because He sees a greater potential in them. He shifts your plans, redirects your pace, and shapes your message.
When God edits, He is not disrupting your creativity. He is protecting its purpose. His edits are not rejection. They are redirection. He sees the full story when you only see one chapter. He knows what your creativity will become long before you start shaping it.
Learning to trust God as your Editor frees you from the pressure of perfection and from the fear of being wrong. It allows you to move with peace instead of anxiety. You do not need to know the entire plan. You simply need to follow His guidance and trust His eye.
Your creativity becomes its strongest when God is allowed to refine it.
Scripture: Psalm 32:8 TPT
I hear the Lord saying, I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you with my eyes as your guide.
