Behold my snowball viburnum bushes! Never before have I had blossoms. It takes my breath away daily, and is a continual reminder of God's kindness in His creation.
Behold: to give one's undivided attention to (according to one online commentary)
Behold: to perceive through sight or apprehension; to gaze upon (Merriam-Webster dictionary)
And so Isaiah 42 begins: Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights.
And so John continues: Behold, the Lamb of god, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)
And Revelation finishes: Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. (22:12)
These are things, this is the One, we are to give our undivided attention to, to understand, to gaze upon. Begin with Isaiah 42, then move into Isaiah 53. Stay there awhile, just gazing at His glory on your behalf. His glory, period. And rejoice that this is our God.
