Psalm 19:8 / New International Version: "The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The command of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes"
Children often wonder about the face of God, imagining what he looks like and how his voice might sound. I want to see God! Where is he? Where, indeed, beloved?
God is in the beauty, showing off for you. When you see something lovely, you are seeing his amazing handiwork. When you hold a newborn baby, and look up and marvel, "I see God!" truly, God is there. Yes, he has created something miraculous, and the miracle inspires his creation.
It's an amazing circle, this inspiration. He gives us so many good gifts - vibrant colors, bursting flavors, comforting warmth, moving melodies, and unimaginable beauty - that our hearts cannot help but respond. And our inspirations pour out in a beautiful offering of worship back to our Creator.
Even his commands, his laws, and his guidance are inspiring. Described as right and radiant, his acts of loving and devoted instructions keep us safe. They also draw us nearer to our Father and give joy and light.
Can you prayerfully submit to God's leadership and the lovely gifts he has planned for you? Let him be your inspiration and see him in the beauty all around you. Don't let his handwork go unnoticed!
