“Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him” (Psalm 68:1). 

The very presence of the Lord confounds the enemy. The light of His glory shines so brightly that anything contrary to His nature melts and fades away. We are drawn to His light. We are perfected in order to reflect the beauty of holiness. The defects resulting from our sins are first exposed, and then vanquished. It was the attraction of sin that kept us earthbound creatures with no desire other than the things of this world. The only sense of beauty was the aesthetics of His creation. Nature provided beauty but only as a reflection of true beauty. It is only when our sights are set on higher things, where Christ is, will we be able to see that God alone creates beauty and makes all things beautiful in their own time. In the light of His glory all things give full expression of their being. What they attempt to express is fully expressed without any hindrances or reservations. We will then understand the beauty of holiness and the beauty of worshiping the One who is Holy. When the enemies are scattered the worshipers are free to worship Him in the beauty of holiness.
