Contemplative Bible Reading

Numbers 8:4 (New Living Translation)

The entire lampstand, from its base to its decorative blossoms, was made of beaten gold. It was built according to the exact design the Lord had shown Moses.

The tabernacle and temple and all the decorations and furnishings were designed by God. God “had shown” these designs to Moses who passed them on to the builders.

How did God show artistic design to Moses?

This leads me on to wonder if God shows artistic designs to persons today? Does God plant thoughts in persons’ minds today? Where do the ideas originate?

I can’t “prove” any answers, but I believe that God and Satan put ideas into the minds of persons. We have the privilege and responsibility to accept or reject ideas.

Just a thought. (Where did that one come from?)
