The Perfection of Beauty
October 28, 2024
Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.
Beams of splendor shine forth upon all nations from this city of God, perfect in beauty by the Lord's indwelling.
The Psalms lead the believer to God in His person, His character and occupations. The words to express our committed affection, holy desire, hop, sorrow or joy are found in these sacred songs. They lead our hearts and thoughts to Him and meet us where we are:
- mourning for sin
- burdened by affliction
- struggling with temptation
- thirsting after God
- being joyful in Him
- triumphing in the hope and joy of deliverance.
We are brought to admiration of Divine perfections:
- Thankful for His mercies
- Deep focus of His truths
- Joyful to be in His service
Constant regard to the Word of God must be given for the rule of our actions and the spring of our comforts. Keep it in your thoughts night and day.
