What if one of the gifts our hearts need most is beauty? In this gentle reflection, Stasi invites us to pause and receive the nourishment God offers through His creation, allowing its beauty to remind us of the beauty of our King. She also turns our gaze toward a deeper Hope: Jesus reigns over all things, and the day is coming when He will make all things new. As Captivated continues its July break, join us in taking a moment to soak in His beauty and goodness. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Zechariah 14:9 (NIV) – The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. Philippians 2:10–11 (NIV) – that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Revelation 21:5 (NIV) – He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Acts 3:21 (NIV) – Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. …..
