Arrest
Our Minds
“Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
Matt
5:8
Can you imagine the weight of this promise? A promise that if
we are pure in heart we will actually SEE God. There will be
a day that we will stand before the Lord and see Him, and there will be
moments every day, when we can stand before him and see Him in the
beauty He has created.
Honestly, this song was written that men in particular would begin to
hope in that promise. How much counterfeit beauty is out
there bombarding us? How much beauty that has been hijacked
and perverted? How much more would we be truly blessed, (that
is happy) if we would forsake all the smoke and mirrors and
counterfeits of all the so-called beauty this world offers and have it
redefined by the ultimate beauty.
Oh, that the Lord would arrest our minds with that amazing vision of
His beauty, and our first love would always have His place in our
hearts.
Men, let this be your prayer today as I have made it mine every
day. That our minds would be arrested, reshaped, transformed
and renewed for the glory of the beauty of Jesus Christ.
Let
the pure in heart be
blessed
To see Your beauty Lord
Let it redefine what beauty is for us
And ruin us for less
The smoke and mirrors and counterfeits
That cannot fill the hope they promise
Arrest our minds with a vision of You
Satisfy with a vision of our first love
Let that be enough
Let the pure in heart be blessed
To see Your beauty Lord
Let it redefine what beauty is for us
