Beautifully Terrible
Amongst all the chaos and excitement of Sunday night, Misty Edwards was leading worship and came up with this chorus:
He is beautifully terrible and terribly beautiful.
That phrase hasn't left my head. How is God beautifully terrible? I understand terribly beautiful, but beautifully terrible?!?
And then I watch the thunder and the lightening and that destructive power is incredibly beautiful. Revelation talks about the beautiful and terrible day of the LORD (which of course is where the chorus comes from), and about the judgement and redemption of God. It is a powerful concept and shows the righteousness of God... that "in him there is no darkness at all"... and that he will rule and reign.
God, thank you that there is no tolerance in your being for evil and yet you are full of Grace. We don't know how blessed we are!
