“Let the wise reflect on this and consider the goodness of the Lord” (Psalm 107:43).
What invisible principle could be at work, even in the most chaotic moments of nature, so that everything, in some way, results in beauty? The answer lies in the very essence of God: holiness. The beauty of holiness is the invisible thread that runs through all of creation. Our God is pure, good, and infinitely loving, and every work of His hands bears the mark of His perfect character. Even the most violent thunder, the roughest sea, or the darkest sky carries within itself a unique beauty — because everything comes from Him and is shaped by Him. The entire natural world, in its diversity and complexity, is a living canvas where the Creator’s hand has left visible traces of His glory.
This thought fills our hearts with reverence and comfort. Knowing that God’s holiness not only governs but also beautifies transforms our way of seeing the world. Nothing is out of control, nothing is truly random. Every detail, even in the most arid environments or the most intense situations, contributes to a great masterpiece: the revelation of divine beauty. And the most extraordinary thing is that we, human beings, were also created to reflect this same beauty as we align ourselves with the Creator.
When we choose to obey the powerful Law of God, a fusion occurs between Creator and creature. The love of God, His peace, and His holiness begin to dwell in us. This union brings a happiness so deep and solid that it goes beyond circumstances — it is the certainty that all is well and will continue to be well, now and for all eternity. The beauty we see in creation then begins to be revealed in us as well. -George MacDonald. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear God, even in the most chaotic scenes of creation, Your holiness remains the invisible principle that sustains and beautifies everything. The thunder that frightens, the sea that roars, the sky that darkens — all reveal something of You, for all comes from Your pure and perfect hands. Thank You for leaving visible traces of Your glory in every corner of nature, transforming what seems like disorder into an expression of deep and intentional beauty.
My Father, today I ask You to help me see the world with eyes shaped by Your holiness. May I perceive, even in difficult situations or in the most arid environments of my life, Your beautiful and sovereign work. And above all, may I remember that I was created to reflect this same beauty through sincere obedience to Your amazing Law. May each of my decisions be a reflection of Your character and each step an expression of Your presence in me.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because Your holiness not only governs the universe but also beautifies my soul when I surrender to Your will. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a divine brush that shapes my life with strokes of light, purity, and purpose. Your commandments are like heavenly paints that color my path with the beauty that can only come from You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
