IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JUNE 14, 2012
HOW BEAUTIFUL!
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. Song of Solomon 7:1-9
The church of God is designed to be beautiful, fine-- exquisite in character and in spirit. For this to happen we must keep Jesus ever before us and be ever transformed by the renewing of our mind and the re-filling of our spirit. We must drink deeply of the fountain of life in Jesus Christ as we are washed with the water of the WORD. We must seek the will of God and submit to his rule and authority.
Today, let us be beautiful!
