When Beauty Never Ends
October 20, 2017
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
Psalm 63:3
I love looking at the Grand Canyon. Whenever I stand at the canyon rim I see new brushstrokes of Gods handiwork that take my breath away.
Even though its just a (very large) hole in the ground, the Grand Canyon causes me to reflect on heaven. A very honest twelve-year-old asked me once, Wont heaven be boring? Dont you think well get tired of praising God all the time? But if a hole in the ground can be so overwhelmingly beautiful we cant stop looking at it, we can only imagine the joy of one day seeing the very Source of beautyour loving Creatorin all of the pristine wonder of the new creation.
David expressed this longing when he wrote, One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord (Ps. 27:4). Theres nothing more beautiful than the presence of God, which draws near to us on this earth as we seek Him by faith, looking forward to seeing Him face to face.
On that day well never tire of praising our amazing Lord, because we will never come to an end of fresh, new discoveries of His exquisite goodness and the wonders of the works of His hands. Every moment in His presence will bring a breathtaking revelation of His beauty and His love.
Beautiful Savior, please help me to seek You every day and to live even now in Your presence and Your love.
We were created to enjoy God forever.
God is worthy of our faith, hope, and confidence; His power and presence are the foundation of many of the Old Testament stories. But sometimes life makes us question what we know. It's hard to see these truths about God when life is hard. That's when we need to view our experience through the lens of Scripture.
David does just that in Psalm 27. Despite having been anointed king by Samuel, he is living as a vagrant and fugitive. Even though he is on the run and enemy armies are pursuing him (vv. 23), he is confident in the Lord (v. 3). It is just thenwhen Davids immediate experience suggests hopelessnessthat he rests in the power and protection of the Lord. Turning his eyes away from his circumstances and toward the Lord bolstered Davids confidence. His one desire was not to be vindicated in front of his enemies, but to be in the presence of the Lord (v. 4). Turning to the Lord is what gave him confidence in the day of trouble (v. 5).
Where does your experience need to be understood through the lens of Scripture? What truth about God do you need to be reminded of today?

Nothing new on the books. Been trying to find new methods for sales and marketing. I really need to get more of the books I already have sold. Writing them and getting them printed is taking what little money I make on sales.
Our weather is warming up over the weekend and will (maybe) get rain early next week; then, a cold snap.

Gotta run. Having trouble keeping my eyes open. I will be waiting in the morning,
with a hot cup of coffee, for you left-coast folks to wake up
and join me back at the FR Canteen.
Until then, be safe, have fun, and sweet dreams.

Howdy, PRO.
Egads but that’s an EARLY wake up time tomorrow!
At least you don’t have to get up that early five days a week. :-)
I’ll be getting up around 4:30 a.m. Sat. to go to Tupelo, MS with Hubby and the guys who are bringing back a few more things for the military museum close by. That’s going to be a looooooong day on little sleep.

Howdy, Kathy.
Two days down, one to go .... the real “fun” one. Don’t forget your cell phone. LOL
Are your streets still icy? Driving on black ice is NO FUN! We have that here much more often than we do snow.
