God is the Consummate Artist

Look at all the arts that God engages in - surely these are just a few of His many talents:

He is a sculptor and potter who made his own clay (Genesis 1-2; Jeremiah 18:1-6).




He is a painter who made all the colors (Genesis 1-2).







He is a musician who formed every sound and gave ears to hear with, and a singer (Zephaniah 3:17; Revelation 1:10). Everything He created sings back to Him.



He is a dancer (Ps. 68:24). The procession of God in the sanctuary with the singers and dancers; (Zeph. 3:17) means: He rejoices over you with songs and dances.



He is a poet – look at the beautiful poetry that He recites to Job (Job 38-41)...and even His creation is an expression worthy of a poem.





He is a writer who has written the greatest best seller of all time—the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16).



He is a story-teller and an actor: Jesus used parables in the Gospels to convey mysteries, and His prophets used dramatic arts to convey God’s words (Matthew 13:34; Hosea 12:10).



He is an architect of mountains and sky (Psalm 90:2; Isaiah 44:24).




He is a Tailor - a worker of needle and thread. He has woven a garment of light for himself (Psalm 104:2) and has provided a golden wedding garment for his bride (Psalm 45:9, 13-14). He has clothed the lilies with beauty (Matt. 6:25-34).



He is a creator of culinary delights - the earth overflows with His bountiful provisions (Exodus 16:31; Numbers 11:7-8; Psalm 34:8; 119:103; Song of Solomon 2:3).  




He is a perfumer, and even His name is a healing ointment that smells Divine (Psalm 45:8; Song of Solomon 1:3; 3:6; 5:1; 5:13).



He is a Carpenter - Matt. 13:55; Mk. 6:3 (Heb. Teckton).



He is a jeweler – Mal. 3:16-17.



He is an engraver – on His hand – Is. 49:16.



He is a flower arranger/landscaper – Lu. 12:27  Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 





In all of these, he is without equal. There is none who can match his artistry, excellence, and genius.
