Indeed, the Beauty of God's Holiness is what I am hungry for, so I am feeding on these verses from The Holy Scriptures today:
Give to the Lord the glory His name deserves. Bring an offering, and come to Him. Worship the Lord in His holy splendor.
-- 1 Chronicles 16:29 (GWT)
Give to the Lord the glory His name deserves. Worship the Lord in His holy splendor.
-- Psalm 29:2 (GWT)
Worship the Lord in His holy splendor. Tremble in His presence, all the earth!
-- Psalm 96:9 (GWT)
Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
-- 1 Chronicles 16:29 (NKJV)
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
-- Psalm 29:2 (NKJV)
Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.
-- Psalm 96:9 (NKJV)

God Is In Tune With His Own!
It was early morning. I was sitting at home in my favorite Scripture-saturation-chair. I was desperately pleading with the Lord to help me organize His Holy Thoughts on "The Beauty of Holiness" in my human mind for the approaching Sunday morning message.
Within a few minutes I received this message from a devoted church member: Hello Pastor Kerry. Thinking about you and asking God to touch and renew you in a special way today! Amen.
I replied: I just asked of God basically what you just prayed. I am humbled by His faithfulness and yours. May He bless you for blessing me.
This response came back: Praise God for always letting us know He is with us. I'm humbled He used me to let you know.
I replied again: God is in tune with His own.
This God-ordained, early morning, communication exchange reminded me of these heart-warming words of comfort recorded in 2 Timothy 2:19 (GWT): The Lord knows those who belong to Him!

Hearts Aflame Discipleship Journey
Today, I, along with one of my partners in ministry, Pastor Vic, baptized 20 people in the Jordan River. Tonight, I am lost in wonder, love, and praise.
One of the ladies on this discipleship journey, Dara, read these words from Mark, Chapter 1, from God's Holy Word just before the sacred moments of baptism began:
(9) One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized Him in the Jordan River. (10) As Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on Him like a dove. (11) And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and You bring me great joy.” (12) The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, (13) where He was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of Him. (14) Later on, after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where He preached God’s Good News. (15) “The time promised by God has come at last!” He announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
It was a powerful day to say the least.
Now, as I post this blog content, I can hear the waves of The Sea of Galilee lapping along the seashore about 20 feet outside my hotel room window. In the morning we, like Jesus, will steadfastly set our faces to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51).
Our guide in The Holy Land, Johnny, said this to us earlier in the week: "Every believer should desire to visit the Holy Land of our Lord Jesus at least once in their lifetime." Indeed, being here lives up to the reputation that comes along with journeying through the Holy Land -- Yes, it most surely is like living within what has been called The 5th Gospel of The Bible.
I pray that wherever you are, the presence of the Man from Galilee will speak "Peace be still to your soul" and that your heart will be aflame with the beauty of His Holiness.
Holiness Unto The LORD!

Be Careful. Obey. Listen. Honor the Lord.
(16) ... be careful. Don't let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the Lord and serve and worship other gods. (17) If you do, the Lord's anger will burn against you...
-- Deuteronomy 11:16-17 (NLT)
You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord...
-- Deuteronomy 11:27 (NLT)
The Lord will be merciful only if you listen and keep all His commands...
Deuteronomy 13:18 (NLT)
... honor the Lord your God. Bring God a voluntary offering in proportion to the blessings you have received from Him.
-- Deuteronomy 16:10 (NLT)
(1) Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God. (2) Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to Him.
-- Romans 12:1-2 (CEV)

Take Time to Abide With the King Today!
Let us take time to abide with the King today, that we might know Him in the Beauty of His Holiness, lest tomorrow, time takes us away from the King's presence for forever.
(21) Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as "Lord," but they still won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. (22) On judgment day many will tell me, "Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name." (23) But I will reply, "I never knew you. Go away; the things you did were unauthorized."
-- Matthew 7:21-23 (NLT)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
