The Handiwork of God

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1)

Have you ever looked at a sunset and felt contentment and peace?  Have you ever listened to the waves of the ocean as they caressed the shore in the moonlight?  It's almost like a buildup of voices praising their Creator.   The Bible tells us that our creativity as human beings comes from being made in the image of the Master Creator. (See Gen. 1:27)

Have you ever seen a double rainbow or examined a snowflake that landed on your window sill? How intricate and perfect is its design, and yet each one is distinct from the others.  Have you ever gone outside into your backyard at night, looked up and saw the trillions of stars that light up the night sky?  Or have you ever been fortunate enough to see the northern lights?  A Living and moving brush stroke of reds, greens, blues, and violet colors dancing across the night sky.  They are just another work of God, sharing His handiwork with His children.

The 12th-century Chinese artist Li Tang painted landscapes animated with people, birds, and water buffalo.  Because of his genius with fine line sketches on silk, Li Tang is considered a master of Chinese landscape art.  For centuries, artists from around the world have depicted what they see in God’s art gallery of creation.

In Exodus 31:1-11 we see how God chose artists who worked with wood, gold, silver, bronze, and gems to create the furnishings, utensils, altars, and garments that were to be used when the ancient Israelites worshiped Him in the tabernacle.  These artistic representations of spiritual realities prompted and guided the priests and the people in their worship of the Lord who had called them to be His people.

Through many types of artistic expression, we reflect the beauty of creation, and we honor the Creator and Redeemer of this marvelous world.

We were created to bring glory to God!
