Psalm 45

Psa 45:11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him.

There is something different about this psalm from the moment you start reading it. It begins, "A Song of Love." We continue and see that this song of love quickly turns into a song of marriage, as the "daughter" is brought to the King. As we read on we are given a beautiful picture of the Jesus and His bride, the church.

The text reads, "So the King will greatly desire your beauty..." I do not know about you, but when brought face to face before the Lord I do not think I am going to be feeling like I am looking good. Is it not wonderful to know that despite our sins and failures, because of His blood, Jesus makes us white as snow. Because of Jesus we are beautiful. Let this be a reminder to all of you. Your looks are not as important as your soul and spirit. Jesus makes you beautiful on the outside and in. Focus on Him and allow Him to perform this transformation.

How rich we are, therefore our response is simple, "He is your Lord, worship Him." God has loved us perfectly. He lays us down in green pastures and He restores our soul. As a response to this perfect love it only makes sense that we worship Him. The more time you spend with Him, the more He will take your breath away. The more time you spend with Him, the more you will fall down and worship.
