Serve God With What You Have

God created us with different gifts. Engineers who work for the glory of

God design machines that make life easier. The Lord also created

artists, who make life more pleasant by creating beautiful things for the

glory of God and the enjoyment of others.

When we think of art in worship, we usually think of music. But other art

forms have long had a role in glorifying God. The calling of Bezalel in the

Bible, demonstrates God's regard for fine art (Exodus 35:30-35). God

commissioned him to beautify the first official place of worship: the

tabernacle. God's purpose for the arts, is to glorify Him and to manifest

His beauty.

When artistic talent is enlivened by the Spirit of God, it becomes an act

of worship that then can become a witness to point people to Christ. God

has greatly enriched our lives with beauty, and we in turn express our

gratitude by displaying His glory in our art.

It calls for a moment of prayer any time you are at work. So pray

earnestly that your work, whatever it may be, will draw the kind of

attention that causes others to praise and worship God.

Dear, because you have been created and endowed with a talent, use it

to the glory of God!
