The Art of God

For an artist, there's a true honor and joy in showcasing their work. Others are able to witness the creativity and craftsmanship of the artist while being captivated by the story behind their artwork.

In 1 Chronicles 16:24, the writer calls God’s people to display God’s greatness among all nations, showcasing His marvelous deeds for others to witness and come to know this divine artist—God, the creator of the universe.

Each day is an opportunity for us, as God’s people, to showcase God’s glory through our words and actions. And just as artwork captivates distant onlookers, our lives should draw others in to witness and experience God and His story of redemption. Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”

So, consider these three ways you can embrace the call to display God’s glory as you engage the world around you:

• Celebrate His Glory: We should seek to celebrate others' (and our own) unique gifts, experiences, and abilities because it offers us a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of God's creativity.
• Reflect His Glory: We should seek to reflect God’s attributes of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and justice.
• Share His Glory: We should actively use our God-given gifts to share the message of God's love and salvation with others.

In a world desperate for hope, we have the true joy and honor of showcasing God’s glory as a part of His story of redemption.
