Psalm 96

In just a little longer than 1 minute I read this psalm. A question came to mind; what do we know of God's beauty? In The Message the psalmist use the word "beauty" three times; each time focuses on God. Verse 4 says that God's beauty is so overwhelming that it is scary. Verse 7 describes his beauty as awesome. Verse 8 calls us to worship before his beauty. His beauty can be seen in his reflections: creation, the remnant of goodness that shines out from every person, anything that is good and right is a reflection of God's nature. When we consider this magnificence there is little else that we can say beyond; "Wow!!"
