Day 15 "And You Are Beautiful"
Beautiful Countenance
Good Morning Beauties!
“When Moses met with God on the mountain, His face shone with the glory of God's presence. As believers, we see even greater glory in God's presence through the Holy Spirit. Let us spend time in His presence so that we reflect His glory and love to those around us!” Pastor Phil Vance
The beauty of the Lord is what makes our countenance beautiful. He shines His face upon us, and we shine. Isaiah 61:3 (NIV) Describes us as, “the display of His splendor.” Is there anything preventing His beauty from shining through you? Selah.
For me, when I experience anxiety, I know others are not seeing the fulness of God. Can you relate? It furthers my frustration to know I’m not displaying His splendor at those times. What do I do? I turn to the Word of God for encouragement and peace.
Jesus gives one of the greatest invitations of all time,“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 (NLT)
Here is a beautiful reminder from Paul, a man who suffered greatly and was still able to rejoice in the Lord. He wrote, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Beauties, give your burdens to Jesus, lay them down at His feet and experience the undeniable peace and joy that accompany His grace.
What are your “go to” scriptures to encourage you when you’re not at your best? Write them in your journal and pray they sink in at a deeper level. Selah.
Take time today to enter into His presence and celebrate your beauty. Dance, sing, and rejoice in the Lord for giving you this glorious new life in Him. A life that has defeated the enemy and his lies.
