Anytime spent in God’s presence will refresh your heart and renew your soul (Acts 3:19). That’s why the psalmist says, “As for me, it is good to be near God” (Psalm 73:28). If our art ministry is the product of our relationship with Christ, then we need to nurture that relationship. For what would it profit an artist to have the world by the tail and lose his/her soul because the person wasn’t living in a relationship with God (Luke 9:25)?

Knowing God is even more important that being an artist. In Jeremiah 9:23-24 we are encouraged to not boast (about our art), but boast about knowing and understanding who the Lord is, for God delights in people doing this. God is the one drawing us to Himself. Go and sit with Him, spend time in His presence. Give your soul a moment of rest in a busy world, during a busy time of the year. You’ll be putting yourself in a position to hear something personal from Him – something meant just for you. Remember Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship.
