Day 16 "You Are Royalty"
The Bride of Christ
Hello Beauties!
Did your mother read stories to you as a little girt? Did you watch movies instead? Did you catch the reoccurring theme? Ordinary girl meets handsome prince, and because he can see her true worth and value, despite what culture says, they fall in love and get married. Their royal wedding is spectacular! It’s filled with the finest things beyond her imagination. She is transformed before our eyes and becomes a princess or queen and lives happily ever after in the royal palace. This storyline continues as we grow up and becomes the plot in every rom-com film we watch.
Why this storyline? Could it be we’re born with a hole in heart, and we spend our lives trying to find the right person who can fill it? We search for our “Knight in Shining Armor,” don’t we? Surely he will make us feel loved, accepted, secure, protected. Journal the expectations of your Knight. Selah.
We love truth, and the truth is, Jesus is our Knight in Shining Armor! He is everything we’ve wanted and needed. And we, as His Bride, are at His right hand. The “right hand” is seen as a place of honor and status throughout the bible. When the Bible makes statements that Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, it is affirming that He has equal status to the Father within the Godhead (Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56). We, the Bride, are at Jesus’ right hand and are accepted as His Royal Bride. What does that truth mean to you? Selah.
The most beautiful love story is that of Jesus and His Bride. Psalm 45 describes it with grace and elegance. In my Bible, Psalm 45 has the heading, “The King and His Beauty.” Here is a link to the entire Psalm. It’s in the New International Version, but I encourage you to read it in several different translations and allow the Spirit to reveal different blessings in each version. Enjoy the romance of Jesus, your Knight in Shining Armor.
