The Light of His Beauty
The description of Jehovah, given by John in Revelations 4:3, paints a picture of His magnificence, splendor and greatness.
“And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald”.
Honestly,…. I don’t even get a full grasp of John’s description of God and his choice of qualifying adjectives….
So I decided to consult my dictionary 🙂 …
emerald
jasper stones
Sardius stone
This is all so awesome, fascinating and precious…awww
It leaves me with a picture of a God that is beautiful and who lives in the midst of beauty!!!
Little wonder then, all His creation speaks beauty…
In Psalm 139:14 David describes himself as marvelous; having being made fearfully and wonderfully.
And I say same of myself; that I am beautiful, having being carefully and beautifully crafted and knit together by the hands of a beautiful God who dwells and reigns in beauty!
And where the light of His beauty shines, only beauty shows forth as a reflection His splendor, His magnificence and His grandeur.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines light as;
“the form of energy that makes it possible to see things…”
The Lord Himself is Light (John 1), that cannot be comprehended by darkness. Simply meaning that; when God shines as the Light that He is, darkness becomes confused, consumed and dissipates swiftly…….giving way for God’s beauty and glory to be seen by all. Halleluyah!
The light of His beauty shines through me, my home, my children and through everything that concerns me. All around me is a reflection of His beauty!
I am Beautiful without apology!
