In Need of Something BEAUTIFUL?

Do you have enemies?  Are you fearful? Do you have any problems? David, the psalmist, can relate. What did he do? What can we learn from him? He kept his eye on the ball. That is, he kept his eye on God. Specifically, he kept his eye on God’s past and present faithfulness. He knew God to be the beauty in the ashes, the righteousness that overcomes evil. David chose – like we can – to gaze and meditate on God’s beauty and His eternal temple to which we’re headed. In the midst of the agony, defeat, discouragement, and doubt, we can join David and say,

One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple. Psalm 27:4 

Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth, Colossians 3:2 tells us. Will we?

BEAUTIFUL LORD, we praise You. Thank You for being the beauty in our day and the One on whom we can gaze. 

Prayers of My Heart character trait of God to journal: Beautiful.
