The way of the prophets….love walking in their way….God still uses art to speak.

The prophets were symbolic thinkers, their imaginations were integrated with their spirituality. One of the advantages of that, is they could write plays poems and songs which could contain God’s messages for their times. “Don’t constrain God to one medium!”

They made portable art which could be carried—like songs and fairy tales are. Stories which could pass across generations. Art is like that. And it is still a method God uses to package Himself.

I love studying those throughout history, who had integrated imaginations. They are most needed in our times as well. Those who are clear symbolic thinkers, and can talk in poetry, drama and rhyme and story—to put in on artistic tablets, so the heralds can run with it.

That’s part of the priestly task, which is needed our day! “Give God the most mediums and room to talk and play through!” as one of my mentors put it.

The prophets did that! Love listening to and through their art today, as I am reading Habakkuk’s great play!!! And considering it’s applications for today! His times, so similar to ours! And God’s method will probably once again be art! As He tends to tell old stories in turbulent times.
