God granted artistic ability to the craftsman who planned the beautiful design of God’s tent of worship, the Tabernacle.
Exodus 31:3-4 (MEV)
I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of craftsmanship to devise artistic works.
The Hebrew word for devise can also be translated plan.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord.
Your are God’s plan, His artistic work.
I know God has a plan for me,
the reason I draw breath.
It stands me ‘gainst eternity;
it’s how I face my death.
I’ve failed at maybe most my life,
it’s been less hit, more miss.
I’ve failed employers and my wife
but I will not fail at this.
The loathsome demons may abound,
the gyre of hell doth turn,
and while the sulfur-flames surround
I will not deign to burn.
The Reaper comes, but I won’t kneel;
fallen, my teeth shall rend his heel.
I suspect when you see your life from God’s viewpoint, Andrew, you’ll discover a multitude of hits you didn’t see in earth-time.
