Beholding the Beauty

Read:  Psalm 27 / Proverbs 13 / 1 Chronicles 26 / 1 Thes. 1

Psalm 27:4 The LORD is my light and my salvation... One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after... to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
Proverbs 13:7,8 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. The ransom of a man's life are his riches.
1 Chronicles 26:27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.
1 Thessalonians 1:9,10 Ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his Son from heaven...  even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Beholding the beauty of Christ,
All other attractions must fade. 
How could I be thereby enticed
While Jesus my Lord is displayed? 

Beholding the beauty of Him
Who saved me forever from wrath,
All other distractions grow dim,
For He is the Light on my path.
