“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 61:10 ->me: This passage is the Messiah, Jesus, speaking on His acceptance of His role, how He has been fitted by the Father to be Savior, and His commitment to seeing the work through. This is such a great model to follow in execution of our daily walk. The first is being excited for what we learn through God’s word; to taste the wisdom and virtues of God’s character; this should be what we rejoice in. (Jeremiah 15:16) Through the saving power of Jesus we have been clothed with Christ’s righteousness (that He received from the Father). Following on yesterday’s Quiet Time we then don or dress ourselves in the work of the Father as a Groom wears a tuxedo or a bride wears a beautiful dress and jewelry to announce their commitment to marriage; we then announce our commitment to the will and purposes of God. Lord God, help me to apply these 3 simple steps everyday as I strive to be the servant you delight in. Even with all of the pressures, senses, and input this world bombards me with, help me to stay focused on You and You will for my life.
