Only Beautiful Moments With Him

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy. Psalm 33:1-3

I love the book of Psalms; it was the first book of the Bible that captured me. These poetic songs of thanksgiving, lament, wisdom and praise affirm God’s majesty and attune my spirit to hearing Him in each moment.

I had many beautiful moments and hours on my walks with the Lord. So many, it was hard to believe that these were the very parks I had walked for years, never experiencing anything like the wonderment of walking those same paths with God.  I had walked through creation, but not side-by-side with the Creator.

My life can display this distinction, too. I can exist, endure and survive each day or I can acknowledge, honor and praise God with the moments in it. Is there anything more essential than dwelling in these beautiful moments with God?  It is vital to my relationship with Him, and my spiritual wellbeing.  Time spent rapt in God’s presence is time spent beautifully.

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple. Psalm 27:4
