The word for today is - Beauty !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Beauty !
 
 
What is beautiful in God’s eyes? His sheep (Us, the believers ) ! God never uses the origin or culture of a person as the criteria of beauty. Read Acts 10:34, Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.When the prophet Samuel examined Jesse’s sons in search of the next king of Israel, he was impressed with Eliab’s appearance.  1 Samuel 16:7,  But the Lord said unto Samuel. Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Nothing in a person’s outward appearance impresses God. God looks upon the inner beauty, the beauty of one’s heart.True beauty comes from the inside.  Spiritual beauty must never be taken for granted or be neglected.When you understand the source of beauty within you, you then have access to its potential for your greater abundance, power and ability to manifest change. Let's look at ; Noah’s implicit trust in God led him to construct a gigantic boat miles from water. Abraham trusted God’s promise so implicitly that he would have sacrificed his son of promise without hesitation. Moses yielded total control of his life to God and became the man of meekness. David gave his whole being to doing the will of God. No consequence or shameful treatment could keep Daniel from reverencing his God. They were totally focused upon Jesus, his will as they shared the gospel with all. In all these qualities God saw great beauty.While all these people were beautiful to God, virtually nothing is known about their physical appearance. It was not their physique or stateliness but their faith and service that made them beautiful. Read Psalm 96:9, O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; and fear before him, all the earth. Did you get that? In the beauty of holiness.  Let's look at Psalm 27:4, One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; 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 enquire in his temple.  The word is telling us to have a desire. Read Matthew 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you have a desire ?Thank you God for your word. Amen !
