Read the Bible in a Year 
This morning read Psalms 148--150 


God Will Beautify You 


Feel good about the way that God feels about you. 

4	For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
	He will beautify the humble with salvation. 
	(Psa. 149:4). 

Upon what does God focus? His attention is riveted on His people. He made the heavens and the earth as our home. The attention of the only Book He has delivered to the earth is us. God does not want to condemn you, because He takes pleasure in you. 

The psalmist also said that God would beautify His people, the humble, with salvation. Now, what exactly does that mean? This I know. God created the heavens and the earth with amazing beauty, yet, we see it after God cursed the earth because of Adam's sin and after God destroyed the entire earth with a flood. Great was the beauty of the earth in the beginning. Therefore, when the psalmist says that God will beautify His people with salvation, we know that it will be something beyond anything that we ever could have imagined.
