DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JULY 8, 2012
ALTOGETHER LOVELY
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Song of Solomon 5:9-16
We see the fine details of loveliness depicted in these scriptures in the Song of Solomon. Loveliness is detail; it is seen in features, aspects, character, profile. So, what do people see when they look at you? We want to be a reflection of Christ...ALTOGETHER LOVELY and MORE than another beloved...the CHIEFEST and MOST SWEET.
Today, let us be altogether lovely and more.
