Behold the Beauty of The King – Dr Paul Dhinakaran
“Your eyes will see the King in His beauty.” Isaiah 33:17
My precious friend, today’s promise is taken from Isaiah 33:17 “Your eyes will see the King in His beauty.” So far, maybe your eyes have only seen disappointments, discouragements and fear. But from now on your eyes will see the King in His beauty.
This is what the Lord has promised for this year that it would be a ‘Year of Beautification’. The Lord said, “From the mud heap, I will make you into a palace of beauty. You will be raised from the ashes into a beautiful person.” What a loving promise! For this to happen, God is going to touch your eyes to make you see Him, the King, in all His beauty in order for you to receive that beauty. Every time Jesus has appeared to us, we have seen His beauty coming through His love. He is not a person with arrogance and pride and with self-made glory as the King of kings. But He is the One who is so humble, so tender and so full of love. This is the beauty that Jesus carries, my friend. I would encourage you to turn your eyes on the beautiful face of Jesus. Yes, let your eyes behold the beauty of the king.
My friend, how is it possible to behold this lovely face of Jesus? Well, the Bible emphasises HOLINESS in Hebrews 12:14. Without holiness nobody can see the Lord. Only the holiness in your eyes, in your spirit and in your body can make you see the Lord face to face. Today, will you cry out to the Lord to cleanse your eyes? II Chronicles 16:9 says “the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” My friend, how committed are you to the Lord? Jesus says when your eyes are holy, the whole body receives light and becomes pure. Let the Lord’s eyes which are full of beauty, love and life behold you to raise you up from your broken state. Just ask the Lord Jesus to transform your life by healing your eyes and thus enabling you to see His beauty to become more like Him.
PRAYER: Loving Lord, thank You for speaking to me through Your Word. Lord, grant me the grace not to sin anymore with my eyes. Cleanse my eyes, my mind and my heart with Your precious blood. You desire holiness in my body, soul and spirit. Lord, I, therefore, surrender my life completely into Your loving hands. Keep me far away from sinning with my eyes for my eyes are light to my body. Let every pride, haughtiness and lust leave my eyes completely even as I pray and make me whole, Lord. I thank You for washing away my sins and for filling me with Your beautiful presence. Let Your eyes of compassion and love be always upon me and transform my life into a beautiful palace for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
