23 - Art

'He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.' (Exodus 35:35) 

Having done Art GCSE, I have a tiny taste of just how hard it is to create good art. I'm not sure you're ever quite satisfied with what you produce.

But it's truly amazing God made people in His image to be artists. That's the only reason they're creative. Because they're made in the image of the Creator. Just look at sunsets, or a mountain to appreciate the art of God. 

Obviously not everyone can create art in the same way. But those who can't can still enjoy it, can't they? 
Who can't stand in front of a Monet and be impressed at his brush strokes? Or admire some clever sculpture? And even though you might not consider him an artist, you have to admit Banksy has got some skill! ;)

Whether we're the ones making art, or admiring art, let's be thankful for it.
