Yet David experienced God there and apparently gazed on the beauty of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>How can we \u201cgaze on the beauty of the Lord\u201d in our day and age? How to seek\u2014and find\u2014His face? Here are some ideas that have worked for me as a way of \u201cgazing on the beauty of the Lord\u201d:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Watch a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/an-inspiring-serenade-at-sunrise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sunrise or sunset<\/a> (perhaps while singing a morning hymn such as \u201cWhen morning gilds the skies\u201d or an evening hymn such as \u201cAbide with me\u201d).<\/li>\n<li>Stop in a church that has stained glass windows and spend time meditating on the depictions of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<\/li>\n<li>Close your eyes and recite Psalm 27:8 (\u201cMy heart says of you, \u2018Seek his face!\u2019 Your face, Lord, I will seek\u201d). Ask God to show you His beauty throughout the day or as you <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/why-its-important-to-pray-before-you-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">go to sleep at night.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/a-way-to-find-spiritual-joy-in-the-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walk in a garden.<\/a> Touch and smell the fragrant flowers and marvel at the Creator\u2019s craftsmanship.<\/li>\n<li>Find a sunlit bench in a park or spread a blanket in a meadow and gaze up at the sky, letting the sun warm your face. Close your eyes and visualize your Father, God, in all His beauty.<\/li>\n<li>Place a reproduction of a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/how-to-pray-in-front-of-a-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favorite painting<\/a> or etching of Jesus in your Bible and pull it out from time to time\u2014not for a fleeting glance but to trace it with your finger, to contemplate and consider what it means to you.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/these-mysterious-church-doors-gave-this-baker-strength\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enter church<\/a> earlier than usual and sit where you can unobtrusively observe others. Notice smiles and tears, the compassion and love with which your fellow worshipers greet each other. Look for reflections of God\u2019s beauty in His servants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Try a few of these ideas this week. You might even make one or two into a habit, as you discover His exquisite beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bible\u2019s book of Psalms is filled with beautiful and evocative phrases. \u201cMy cup runneth over.\u201d \u201cUnder the shadow of the Almighty.\u201d \u201cTeach us to number our days.\u201d One of my favorites is from Psalm 27:4 (NIV): One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":30370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[362,186],"tags":[159,16,30,234],"ppma_author":[465],"class_list":["post-23458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bible-verses","category-prayer","tag-bible","tag-god","tag-prayer","tag-psalms"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
