BONNKE: THE BEAUTY FROM GOD

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us” (Psalm 90:17). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations God makes everything beautiful in its time. Personal beauty is never condemned in Scripture. Pride, lack of modesty, provocative dress, and brazen flirting certainly are. God makes people beautiful, and does not expect us to belong to the cult of ugliness and make the worst of ourselves.I do not believe God took pleasure in the saints of the early centuries who boasted of the population of lice in their hair and beards. Nor was He pleased with the nuns who boasted that water never touched their feet except when they crossed a river. God does not give special honor to those who dress drably to win His favor. He creates beautiful things, from the glory of the dawn and majesty of the sunset, to the star-spangled velvet of the night sky.  His dwelling is the light of the setting sun, multi-colored and glorious. Our ability to create beauty comes from Him. “He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us” (Psalm 90:17). That is what the anointing is. Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke. Copyright © 2016 by Reinhard Bonnke.
