We Shall Behold Him!
Behold!
Behold is an intriguing word we seldom use now. How often it is used in God’s Word in
reference to the extraordinary!
In the process of creation of our world
no one proclaims – ‘Behold! Your World.’ Yet, we are in awe of wonder at the
complexity and glorious beauty of all that surrounds us. How can we close our eyes to WHO God is? The
earth is filled with His Gory.

I cringe now, remembering a tableau of
Mom coaxing, watering and tending to the cascade of colorful flowers in her
garden. I asked, What is so beautiful
about flowers? Her answer opened the
door to the complexity of design and color for each flower God created. It was a “Behold Moment”. She opened the door of my heart to see and
know God!

God is the “Why” of all we see and
hear. With God’s love in our hearts,
each day is a Behold Day, for we see the evidences of His Love all around us.

I am reminded of God’s Great Love, when
I visit my husband in the nursing home and see the caregivers showing God’s
love to each resident as their personal ministry. I am reminded of His Angels appearing in
unexpected places.

you saw Him go into heaven.”

Who wrote the lyrics to the astounding
event of seeing God Face to Face? Dottie
Rambo, born in 1934. She was born in
Kentucky and began writing music at the age of eight. Four years later she became a Christian and
made a commitment to write and sing Christian music. At the age of sixteen her life became one of
travel and singing songs to glorify God. In 1981, Dottie Rambo tells this story… As we pulled
out of the driveway of the motel, it was about sunset. I saw one of the most
beautiful and unusual cloud formations. I have always loved beautiful cloud
formations. I saw colors that I had never seen in my lifetime. It seemed that
the clouds almost took on the form of angels. The colors were so brilliant and
unusual—blues, azures, and amber.

Presently the clouds parted.
By this time I was weeping so much that I couldn’t see to drive. It seemed, as
the clouds parted, as if I could see the Savior coming in the clouds, with
trumpets sounding.

I said to my young companion,
“Patty, you’re going to have to drive. I can no longer see.” She didn’t
know that the Lord was giving me a song. It was being written in my heart
because I had nothing on which to write.

Before we reached the tent
meeting, the Lord had given me the whole song. When I got there I could play
the entire piece on my guitar. Every phrase was exactly as it should be.

The sky shall unfold, preparing His entrance; the stars
shall applaud Him with thunders of praise. The sweet light in His eyes shall
enhance those awaiting, and we shall behold Him, face to face. We shall behold Him. Yes, we shall behold
Him, face to face in all of His glory. We shall behold Him…
