From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

—Ps 50:2

• We tend to associate the word “beauty” with women, art, sunsets, or hitting a receiver in full stride with a forty-yard pass. Our culture is obsessed with physical beauty. Hollywood stars adorn the covers of magazines and electronic screens. Yet there is a beauty that lies beyond Hollywood’s grasp—an inner beauty characterized by hearts that are loving, compassionate, selfless, good, and noble. Jesus displayed all these qualities perfectly in his daily life as he interacted with others. His was a beauty that attracted all people of goodwill.

• God has a beauty that is rivaled by none. When we see him, we shall be struck speechless by his radiant splendor.

• Praise God for his beauty. One day we shall see him and marvel.
