The other night a couple of my guys were watching a video of the late painter and art instructor Bob Ross.
I had never seen Ross before, but after watching just a few minutes of him painting I was amazed by his skill.
How quickly and easily he could take a blank canvas and turn it into a beautiful wilderness scene!
The man clearly had a gift... for it's God, by His Spirit, who gives this kind of skill.
... Read Exodus 31:1-6 for more on that...
Now... you may not see yourself as artistic or particularly gifted at anything.
But surely God has blessed you with certain affinities and abilities that you can nurture and use.
Pay attention to what they are and develop them.
And put them to work today to encourage others and glorify God.
There's hardly a better way to gladden your heart.
