True beauty is rest. In fact, the very concept of being “becoming,” “decorous,” or “suitable” comes from the concept of rest. Specifically, the Hebrew word navah (used twice in Scripture and translated home or habitation) means “to rest (as at home)” and has an implied idea of “beauty.”
The connection of rest and beauty is the concept of “sitting well on any one.” Thus, being beautiful is simply that things “rest well” upon us. God’s design is that all of creation, all of His laws and principles, and all of the kingdom of God “rest well” upon His people. As we “rest well” within that kingdom – Him, our everlasting and secure home – we are made eternally beautiful through Father’s rest upon our lives.
