Every child who is taught to read
and write will not author a great novel. Every
child who is trained to play a musical instrument will not
compose a symphony. Every child who is
taught to draw will not see his work hanging in the
Louvre. However, the reader will have access to great literature;
the musician will have an understanding and appreciation for
great music; and
the one who studied art will be able to discriminate between
good and bad art. It is clear in God's
word that He loves craftsmanship and design. God's direction
to Moses on Mount Sinai was specific (Exodus 25:8-9). God specially
appointed Bezalel to be the craftsman for the tabernacle. "See,
I have chosen Bezalel...and I have filled
him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts, to make
artistic
designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and
set stones, to work in wood, and to engage
in all kinds of craftsmanship (Exodus 31:2-5). To put it simply, God created. Consequently, we want to create after
Him.
