Beauty

"From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines in glorious radiance."
Psalm 50:2



Perfection of beauty....just stop and think about that for a minute! We've seen so many beautiful things in our lives things that have left us speechless and that we simply gaze at in awe! But everything that we see is broken beauty. If you put all of the beauty in this world combined it wouldn't be half as beautiful as God! How could it be? I can't even wrap my mind around it! God created everything that's beautiful which means he must be SO much more beautiful! His beauty is perfect and uncomprehendable! Next time you are gazing at the beautiful sunset or the grand canyon think about God's beauty and the fact That he is a 1,000 more beautiful! So glorious that we can't even comprehend it! His beauty is greater and more majestic than anything we could ever imagine! Below are some pictures of God's beautiful creation, look at the beauty and remember that God is SO much greater and beautiful than any of these pictures!

Expect


Expect...it's a funny little word that I've been thinking a lot about lately and it just keeps coming up. To expect something is to look forward to, to anticipate, to consider something to be probable or certain.

Expect great things of God!

Why is it so hard to expect God to come through and expect him to do awe inspiring amazing things? Maybe it's because we've been taught not to raise our expectations so that we aren't disappointed people have told us to keep our expectations realistic so that we aren't let down. But that's not how it works with God. Our God is SO great, and powerful that it is foolish not to expect Him to come through and do amazing things!

God is in control of everything, which means we will never have to worry about being disappointed! Our God is able to do far more abundantly than we could ever ask or imagine! He wants us to expect great things of Him and he wants to blow us away with is amazingness!

Expect more of God! Expect Him to show you life changing things every day! Wake up ready to listen to what God has to say to you! Ready to experience more of his love and grace!
God is there and ready to reveal himself to you, we just have to be ready to listen and expect God to show us more of himself daily!

Are you ready to take Jesus at his word? He says that if you ask, you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. I suspect we expect little things from God. We don’t really expect God to change things. We just expect him to help us cope. We have not because we ask not. We do not believe God will deliver, so we do not give him the chance. I challenge us all to pray expecting God to do amazing, miraculous things—things you can scarcely imagine. God can do it. He will do it!

"Now to him who is able to do immesurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever amen." Ephesians 3:20-21


[Prayer] Part III


While petition exhausts, praise invigorates...praising energizes and renews praying.

Petition-- Sought by request and entreaty

When we make petitions of God we are asking him to do something, to help us, to change or circumstances, to provide something etc. We are focusing on ourselves and our problems. This is why petition exhausts, because life on earth is discouraging and if we are constantly focusing on what we need it will not be an encouragement to us, but rather a discouragement.



Praising-- Offering grateful homage, the act of expressing approval or admiration

When we are praising God we are taking our eyes off our circumstances and instead we are fixing our eyes on God and remembering how great and awesome he is and all that he has already done for us.

Don't let your prayers stop at petition, instead make sure you are also praising God through your prayers, it will invigorate your soul and give you hope and encouragement in even the most difficult circumstances. Reminding yourself of God's character and past faithfulness will increase your faith and joy! It will help you to fix your eyes on the all powerful savior instead of being preoccupied with your weaknesses and troubles.
