THE BEAUTY OF JESUS.

Moses prayed in Psalm 90:17, “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us.” We would all like to be beautiful, wouldn’t we?

We imagine our self beautiful, even if we aren’t. Beauty is delightful to behold. In fact, “delight” is the meaning of this word in this Scripture.

More than anything else, God wants His beauty to be upon us. He wants our children to learn of His beauty and character as they watch our lives. He wants the world to see His beauty through us for this is the way He has planned for them to get a glimpse of Him.

His beauty is His presence in our lives. I love to pray these lines…

"Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, All his wondrous passion and purity. O thou Spirit Divine, all my nature refine, ‘Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me."

YOU ARE ESTABLISHING GOD'S KINGDOM

You are pregnant! But you are scared to tell your parents or parents-in-law! You know you’ll get a negative reaction (or maybe even a violent reaction)!

Can I encourage you that you only have to get through the next few months, for when your precious baby is born, their hearts will change. No one can resist a baby!

Your parents and friends have this negative reaction because they have been educated to have this response.

Society, the media and the education system all teach that you shouldn’t have too many babies and should instead give your lives to careers and jobs that you will leave behind and will have no impact on the nation or eternity! Their minds have been conditioned to believe lies from Satan who hates life.

But don’t despair. They’ll love your baby when he or she comes.

And every new baby is a revelation of God’s truth and God’s kingdom which is a kingdom of life. You are helping to establish the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

The Bible gets it right every time. Before science ever discloses a truth, God has already established it. Here’s another maxim that God established from the beginning, “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23).

You can’t get away from it. What you think is how you live. Are your thoughts full of self-pity? Don’t expect to rise up out of your pit.

Are your thoughts filled with selfishness and how everything should revolve around you? Expect to stay miserable.

Do you harbor anger and bitterness in your heart toward your husband or anyone else? You are on the way to self-destructing.

There’s only one way out. Change your thought patterns. Change them to what God says about you. Meditate in God’s Word and make it your confession. Think love. Think forgiveness. Think of blessing people. Think of how to make your husband and children happy. Think joy. Think peace.

Think God’s thoughts and you are on the way to life and victory.

HELP ME TO BE KIND

One of God’s attributes is kindness.

The Hebrew word is chesed which is one of the most powerful words in the Old Testament. The meaning is much bigger than our English word of kindness. It means unfailing love, benevolence, goodness, grace which we don’t deserve, mercy, loyalty and strength.

The amazing thing is that God wants us to reveal His same chesed kindness to one another. It gets even more personal when we read the description of the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31:26, “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Yes, the word is chesed.

Can you imagine what our homes would be like if we daily, and constantly, demonstrated and spoke words of kindness to our husband and children?

I AM IS WITH YOU NOW!

God revealed Himself to Moses as I AM THAT I AM! (Exodus 3:14). That says it. No one can question God’s purposes for He is I AM THAT I AM. No one can question His counsel for He is Jehovah and His thoughts are far above our thoughts.

But more than that, He is I AM today. He is I AM in the situation you face right at this moment. He is not only the faithful God of the past and the eternal future, but the God of the moment. Now! He is I AM with you in your kitchen right now, with all your frustrations and the needs of your little children and teens.

God said to Moses, “Say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” I AM comes to you right now. Acknowledge His presence with you at this “special” moment. Never forget that every moment of the day, no matter how frustrating or difficult is “divine” when I AM is with you.
