The Story of a Successful Team of Artists

Today I'd like to give you an excerpt from the book, The Heart of the Artist, by Rory Noland. Consider this as we pray and prepare for Sunday morning:

THE STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL TEAM OF ARTISTS

"I want to conclude by telling a story from the Bible about a group of artists who did something great for God. In Exodus 35 Moses rallied the people of Israel together to build the tabernacle. The people got so excited about the opportunity to do something great for God and donated so much money and material that Moses had to tell them to stop. Then Moses called the gifted artists together, divided them into teams, and gave them their assignments. There was great attention to detail; the Bible devotes four chapters to describing the artistry that went into the building of the tabernacle; When it was all done, a cloud representing God's majesty rested over them, and His glory filled the tabernacle. (Exodus 40:34) Can you imagine how those artists felt? They had worked together as a team and had accomplished something great for God, and He had blessed their work. God's glory shone through their art. God had anointed their efforts. What more could you ask for as an artist? They had come together as artists to do what no one of them could do alone, and God had blessed it!"

p.s. by the way, there are some more great changes to the choir room! Can't wait for you to check it out on Sunday!
