A Creative Reflextion
Steven Paul Jobs, co-founder, chairman and former chief executive of Apple Inc., passed away Wednesday.
A visionary inventor and entrepreneur, it would be impossible to overstate Steve Jobs’ impact on technology and how we use it. Apple’s mercurial, mysterious leader did more than reshape his entire industry: he completely changed how we interact with technology. He made gadgets easy to use, gorgeous to behold and essential to own. He made things we absolutely wanted, long before we even knew we wanted them. Jobs’ utter dedication to how people think, touch, feel and interact with machines dictated even the smallest detail of the computers Apple built and the software it wrote.

Genesis 1:27 (New International Version)
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
What does God's Story scripture teach us about God's image reflected in our lives?
This scripture has always been one of my favorites, and one of the most intriguing verses in the bible. What does it mean to be created in the image of God? It grabs my attention that this short poem comes just as God finishes the creation of our world. Our God is deeply creative and He invites us into the creative process. One of the attributes of God we get to share is the desire to create.
How can we connect today's God's Story scripture to our lives?
This one short verse shares a lot of truths with us that we need to cling to...
- We are created. God has pieced each of us together, unique from all others.
- God loves us. He took the time to create each of us.
- God has placed his signature on each of us. He created us in his image.
How can we connect today's story, God's Story scripture, and our story to others?
I don't know what Steve Jobs believed about Jesus, but for this purpose the important part is that Steve was an incredibly creative man. He was passionate about making things and making them well.
- For the next few days Steve Jobs will be easy to talk about. Take the time to ask your friends what they think about the creativity of Mr. Jobs. Then ask them where they think people get their creativity?
- What do you and your friends think it means to be made in the image of God? Then you can share the excitement you feel that God would take the time to create you.
