Psalms46:8

Behold the works of the Lord.

1. They are worth beholding, for they are like himself; well becoming his infinite power, wisdom, justice,

2. Our eyes were given us for this very purpose —not for the beholding of vanity, not for the ensnaring or wounding of the soul; but for the use and honour of the Creator.

3. The Lord delights to have his works beheld; he knows their excellency and perfection, and that the more they are seen and noted the more honour will accrue to the Maker of them.

4. None but we can do it; there is great reason then that we should carefully behold, etc.

5. This shall be of great benefit to ourselves. Bishop Hall.
