Strengthened to Behold

How wonderful to behold all God's creations as He cares for us in so many ways; always working toward the good for all mankind. Wonderful to feel His provision in every aspect of life; to hear and sense the many blessings He places within our world. Wonderful to hear the sound of thunder as it clears friction from the skies. Wonderful to hear the sound of rain falling upon the earth; refreshing and reviving our much needed plants and gardens; while showering us with the beauty of flowers and blooming trees. Wonderful to feel the warmth of summer after the chill of winter or to feel the cool of winter after the long summer heat. Wonderful to see the beauty of flowers and trees burst forth in spring after the dead of winter. Wonderful to see the beauty in autumn as trees take on their magnificent fall colors that accompany the cool down following a heated summer.  All things within our world can be so wonderful if we stop long enough to enjoy all its beauty that surrounds us.
God has provided for our well being in every season of our life, nothing lacking; while replenishing, restoring, and reviving creation from one level to another. How we perceive the little things God has given, both good and bad, can be the start of a beautiful relationship with God, with mankind, and within our own mind. If we look for beauty, we will find beauty. If we listen for good things, we will hear good things. If we sharpen our senses, we can even begin to behold His glory in all that is around us. He has provided so many things for our enjoyment if we can learn to see Him in the creation that surrounds us. Wonderful to know that in all things, day after day, He watches over His creations, including you and me, to bring joy in abundance to our life.
However, to enjoy this abundance of life, we must learn to behold Him and be strengthened with His might, for it is in Christ Jesus that we behold life in this new light. It is in Him that we behold beauty in this world that He created. It is in Him that we can sense all the wonderful things He has created. It is in Him that we are strengthened and can begin to move forward in beholding His glory; one step at a time, one day at a time; as He leads us through this life unto life eternal. We begin to behold Him by purposely acknowledging Him, repenting of our sins, and making Him Lord over our life. It is then that we begin to see His glory with eyes wide open to our surroundings; to hear with ears that hear His voice in all He has created; and enjoy a heart fine-tuned sensing His love in all we do, in all we think, and all we say.
I pray that today you can be strengthened by beholding His glory and that you enjoy a wonderful life recreated in Christ Jesus. May you be blessed and always remember that God loves you and so do I~~~
