“Many believe - and I
believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old
age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my
hope in Him.”
– Michelangelo
It’s
encouraging to hear that early artists who are well respected, pioneers of
their medium, and known as “the great ones” even today, wanted to honor God
through their work. On the flip
side, how sad it is today that God is being pushed to the side or even
eliminated from the work that we do…not to mention our daily lives.
God
gave us our lives and our talents.
The Bible says that everything we have is from God, so everything
belongs to God.
We
honor great artists like Michelangelo because of the great work they
created. Michelangelo understood where his talents came from and therefore created
art to honor God.
How
much more should we honor God for the Great Work He created by working for Him?
Colossians 1:16
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones
or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him
and for Him.
