Many who read this blog know my baby girl is going to get married this fall. Yeterday, on her Facebook post, she showed the world her wedding band and that of the choosen man. The day before she sent us a picture of her in her dress. "Beautiful" was the only word to describe it ... or, perhaps, "glorious." So, when I read through these six "glorious" chapters and came to then end, you might see what the Spirit of God brought my eyes to this verse:
Isaiah 61:10 - I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
God, through the work of the Son and the ministry of the Spirit, has clothed us with righteousness and honor. Like a future bride showing off her rings, He has left us on this earth to show off what He has done for us and in us. We are are the bride of Christ and He has furnished with the dress to show off the honor of being married to the King of Kings. Because of this honor we can "rejoice greatly" and we can "exult in my God." Just like my baby girl couldn't wait to show off the ring "he" bought her, neiter should we wait to show off what "He" bought us by dying on the cross for us. He purchased for us righteousness, honor and blessing. Let's rejoice and show it off. The wedding day can be at any moment.
