The Lord Be With You Today!
Isaiah 62:3
You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's Hand,
a royal diadem in the Hand of your God.
(The two words for hand are different in the Hebrew,
the first referring to the work and accomplishment of the Lord,
the work of His Hands in which
He has transformed and molded His people into His masterpiece,
and the second pointing to the Lord's open palm
and the treasure that is Israel held there,
a beautiful treasure to show off for others to admire.
The Lord is effusive in His great love for Israel,
telling His people that He will make them a splendid and dazzling thing of beauty,
Israel's beauty being His doing, not theirs,
as He fashions this creation of His out of the raw material of His people.
Like a proud and loving father,
Father God will parade the apple of His eye before all to see.
As His people today, the Lord still esteems and delights in us,
and His pride in us still holds true for us today.
When we allow Him to use our lives,
He will make us into someone beautiful and precious in His Hand.
Making beauty from the ashes of our lives,
He will make us into a crown of glory!)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
