Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is very far off. Isaiah 33.17

When he revealed the reason for demanding – pleading – the right to live in the house of the Lord, David said it was because of His beauty (Psalm 27:4). Of course the psalmist was not referring to the physical beauty, for no one had the pleasure of contemplating it. The information we have in the Bible is that when Jesus came in flesh, And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him (Isaiah 53:2). He talks about the capacity of the Most High to work in favor of those who put their faith in Him. 

We need to know Who is our God and what is His capacity to do everything at the same time in all places. Besides this, we must understand His nature, for once He is love, He has a lot to give us so that we also offer other people and let them enjoy from us. We must be like Him. Otherwise, how will we accomplish His fantastic work? 

If we don’t know the Lord, our faith will not be what He intended it to be, because, without such information about Him, what can we have and what can we accomplish? Our plea must be to live in God´s house. For this to happen, we have to use our strength in consecration, determination and belief. We must believe that when we say that we can do the same works He did, the Most High was giving us the same tools. 

We cannot only want to live in the house of the Father and pray for that. We must enter into a constant and relentless battle, resisting all temptations, so that we may never go beyond the limits He imposed on us or that we fall short. David said he would seek the fulfillment of his right to live in the house of God, for he was in a demand with the Lord to contemplate His beauty. 

The king of Israel didn’t just want to be safe from his enemies, but he wanted to contemplate, research, inquire, discover and learn what made the Almighty be so friendly, loving, wonderful and merciful towards men. Those who can admire the face of the Lord can do the same works He did, for like Father, like son. But, for all of this to happen, we have to live with the Most High. 

When dwelling in this location, you have “enrolled” yourself in the best university. Then, full time, you will learn about the One who is perfect and complete in Himself. Could it be that this answers all your prayers? Of course yes. Will you benefit from this tip and strive to fulfill the divine plan? The winners don’t look at sacrifices, but only to victory.  

How about being like Boaz, whom Naomi said she would not rest until the matter was settled? God is looking for people, who worship Him in Spirit and in truth, but will He find this attribute in you, or could it be that all this you have learned does not touch you and move you? Every revelation the Father gives in His Word becomes a commandment. 

In Christ, with love,
