Gaze Upon Your Beauty

''I am with you in all that you do, even in the most menial task. I am always aware of you, concerned with every detail of your life. Nothing escapes My notice-not even the number of hairs on your head. However, your awareness of My presence falters and flickers; as a result, your life experience feels fragmented. When your focus is board enough to include Me in your thoughts, you feel safe and complete. When your perception narrows so that problems or details fill your consciousness, you feel empty and incomplete. Learn to look steadily at Me in all your moments and all your circumstances. Though the world is unstable and in flux, you can experience continuity through uninterrupted awareness of My Presence. Fix your gaze on what is unseen, even as the visible world parades before your eyes.''

I don't really remember when and where I heard that promises from God. But everytime I am in situation that seemingly hard to bear the Holy Spirit always lead me to his passage...

So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. - 2 Corinthians 4:18

Have you tried gazing on something and while you are intently looking at it, that thing little by little zooming in. To the point other things happening around you gets blurry. I believe that what the Lord wants us to realize when He said to gaze upon Him is to look on Him in steady way and usually for a long time. God's instruction to gaze upon Him could create deep affection in us. An affection for Him, a desire for Him forever.

Our affections be bound up in one affection, and that affection set upon heavenly things. Have I desired -- what we cannot at once attain, it is well to desire. This is the right target for desires, this is the well into which to dip our buckets, this is the door to knock at, the bank to draw upon; desire of men, desire of the Lord.

Under our painful circumstances it might be expected to desire repose, safety, and a thousand other good things, but no, we have to set our

heart on the pearl, and leaves the rest. That we would seek after- A holy desires that leads to resolute action. By that then we will learn to appreciate and grateful in every circumstances that happening in our lives.

By gazing in Him and inquiring Him through His words would give solution to our situations. May it be good or not so good season but don't care at all. Because we attained the real conclusion of the matter.

When all has been heard, the end of the matter is: fear God [worship Him with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is almighty God] and keep His commandments, for this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, every hidden and secret thing, whether it is good or evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

To behold the beauty of the Lord. An exercise both for earthly and heavenly worshippers. What a word is that, "the beauty of the Lord!" Think of it, dear reader! Better far -- behold it by faith! What a sight will that be when every faithful follower of Jesus shall behold "the King in his beauty!" Oh, for that infinitely blessed vision! And to inquire in his temple. We should make our visits to the Lord's house inquirers' meetings.

Not seeking sinners alone, but assured saints should be inquirers. We must inquire as to the will of God and how we may do it; as to our interest in the heavenly city, and how we may be more assured of it. We shall not need to make inquiries in heaven, for there we shall know even as we are known; but meanwhile we should sit at Jesus' feet, and awaken all our faculties to learn of him.
