Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. Psalms 29:2
Today, I was scrolling through X/Twitter and saw so many images, statements and videos, that crushed my soul and made me depressed at the state of our society. It literally hurt my heart. Men dressing as women, murders and governments lying, it reminded me of what Sodom must have been like! Then I read AW Tozer and he shared his thoughts on what is good,
"It is not possible for anything bad to be beautiful. The Scripture says that we’re to “worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness” (Psalm 29:2). It is possible for an unholy thing to be pretty or attractive, even charming. But it is not possible for it to be beautiful. Only that which is holy can be beautiful ultimately.
“Worship the Lord,” says the Scripture, “in the splendor of his holiness.” That’s no casual remark, no casual relation of word to word—the beauty of holiness and the perfection of beauty, and the fact that only God is perfect. They all fit in together beautifully and drop into place, for God is beautiful beyond all description. “How beautiful the sight of God must be,” says the hymn. And how unutterably ugly the sight of hell must be."
Join me in reading Psalms 29 and be encouraged!
