You might go to a gallery or a concert and admire artistic beauty. How often do you admire the beauty of God? Keep Reading...
READ Exodus 28:2 - You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. REFLECT There is something within the heart of man that longs for beauty. Songs, stories, artwork and fashion are constantly being created. But even though we produce lots of beauty, it is still seen as a "side issue" for serious adults who need to get educated, work, pay the bills and care for a family. For God, beauty is not a side issue. When he gave Moses his law on Mount Sinai, he listed out the ten commandments (Exodus 20), and then he spoke on and on about beauty (Exodus 25-31). God gave detailed instructions on the beautiful way in which we should worship him. He chose brilliant colors, costly metals and luxurious gems for his house and the garments of his priests. And all of this beauty was to be created in the middle of a desert. Yes, beauty is important to God! In Scripture, words for God's glory and beauty are often used interchangeably. His manifest presence, or his glory, is beautiful. And true beauty is full of God's glory. In other words, you cannot have real beauty without the glory of God. God desires that we pursue beauty inside of his glory. There is nothing like admiring and worshipping the most pure and jaw-droppingly gorgeous One in the universe. When our admiration for God's beauty is diminished, everything falls flat in our lives. From there, a terrible cycle of idolatry is set in motion. See Romans 1:21-23 RESPOND Do you settle for beauty that is less than the best? Has your desire for the beauty of God's glory faded? Often a "beautiful" pursuit can be the enemy of the Most Beautiful pursuit - God himself. Spend time worshipping Him today. Thank God for his beautiful, glorious character and ways. His beauty is infinite, so your worship can keep going... For more study on the Beauty of God, click below.
