The Bride of Christ
"My heart is overflowing with a good theme;"
Psalm 45:1a NKJV
Every passing day brings us closer to being caught up into heaven by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Are we ready, willing and filled with pure desire for our King?
Steve Miller's "One Day Nearer" anticipates the glorious appearance of Jesus with 365 daily devotions, calling us to greater fervency and wisdom as we watch and wait. Here is an excerpt from "Are you Ready to Meet the King?":
"The first half of Psalm 45 focuses on the King. Then verse 9 introduces us to the King's bride: "At your right hand stands the queen." Can you guess who this is? It's us! (i)
What does it mean to be a queen-in-waiting walking the earth in an hour of increasing sorrow? How can we prepare ourselves for a royal wedding more glorious than we can ever imagine?
May we examine our hearts and reach for our bridegroom to light our path as we draw ever nearer to Him in each moment we are given.
""Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father's house;
So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him."
Psalm 45:10-11 NKJV
