Holiness is Beauty

READ: Ps 93:1-5
MORE LESSONS: I Chron.16:29
Bible Reading in One Year: Matthew 5-8

Whatever gives a deep sense of admiration or deep satisfaction is said to be beautiful. Holiness is one thing that gives God such satisfaction. God is attracted wherever holiness stands just as any man is attracted to anything beautiful. Therefore, holiness is one means of attracting God to your life as God never gets tired of it. The more of it God finds anywhere, the more attracted He is to such.

Enoch attracted God to his life by holiness until God had to take him home to Himself, by-passing the natural process of death, And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him: Gen 5:24. It was holiness that attracted God to Noah when the people on earth were sinful, ready for judgement, …Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God: Gen.6:9. It was holiness that qualified Mary to carry the pregnancy of the holy seed, Jesus, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us: Matt 1:23. Elizabeth and Zaccharias were barren and well stricken in age, but the Bible records, …they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless: Lk. 1:6-7. Joseph was righteous before God and the favour of God followed him everywhere he went (Gen.39:8-9), including the prison. The list is endless.

Holiness is a spiritual gain because it strengthens integrity, character, honour, sound mind and of course, good health. All these are more of benefits to man than God and therein is the beauty of holiness. Holiness attracts good testimony, it delivers from guilt and fear of eternity. If you desire all these, go for holiness, ...it always has."Beauty" and "Holy" mark your palace rule, GOD, to the very end of time. Ps 93:5(M.S.G)
