God’s Art Appreciation
List by Ami Hendrickson
God Himself is “The Creator.” He understands the creative process and revels in it. Just as He knew what the Israelite artists Bezalel and Oholiab were capable of (see Exodus 31:1-6), He knows about my talents and longs to bless me as well.
God approves of new creations
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
The merits of committing to my creative projects
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.
Make every project glorious
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
My talents will continue to grow
Matthew 25:20-21
He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, “Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents in addition to them.” His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.”
Inspiration is endless
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
