"I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." -Isaiah 61:10 (NASB)
I had several students this year worried about their shoes or clothing. To a middle schooler, the right outfit can be more important than homework! Sometimes we find ourselves looking for that perfect outfit. When we want to make a good impression, we try to look our best. When celebrating or mourning, there is appropriate attire for each occasion. What would you wear if you had a meeting with God?
God knows us inside and out. We can't impress God by what we wear. The best thing we can wear for God are the spiritual clothes that He as given us - "garments of salvation" and the "robe of righteousness". God has provided us with all we need. Through the redemptive sacrifice of His Son, God has given us the perfect garments to wear when we meet with Him. Our spiritual clothing is more glorious than any physical adornments we can find here on earth!
Get all dressed up by putting on the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son and providing me with the spiritual clothing of salvation and righteousness. Help me to never be ashamed to put them on and help me to allow others to see the glorious gifts You provide. Through Your Son, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
