I’ve written much about what prophetic art is and how God wants to speak to you and create with you to bring life, love and hope to others, but we haven’t yet explored how to interpret what He is saying through our work.

Artwork can be considered a reflection of the artist. It can give us a glimpse of what’s going on in their life and heart – expressing joy, bliss, pain or sadness. It can reveal ideology and stances on issues. It also reflects the artist’s skill and understanding of design and medium. It’s very easy for it to become a reflection our own self-worth.

This drawing comes from Psalm 27:4 where it says, “One thing I would ask of the Lord, this only do I seek: that I might dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.” (NIV).
