IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
THOU ART FAIRER
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Psalm 45:2
If we take on the ways of the world, we shall be overcome by them. As children of God, we are to be like Christ Jesus, who is fairer than the children of men. He is far more beautiful than the worldly man. If you look on Him, he has peace and pleasure in his countenance. He is unafraid of the future, so he is covered in glory and assurance. His nature is gentle instead of antagonistic. He does not seek His own but the desire of the Father.
Grace is poured into His lips: " And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?" (Luke 4:22). Jesus was not cantankerous, or loud, or boastful. He didn't have guile or folly come out of his tongue. He was, and is, blessed for ever.
Today, be fairer, be gracious, be blessed.
