Psalm 45

My first reaction after reading Psalm 45 was one of awe and thanksgiving. Imagine the psalmist's words of praise to commemorate King Solomon's wedding to Egyptian Pharaoh's daughter being used as an analogy to Jesus Christ's wedding to His bride, the Church.

"Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:

Forget your people and your father's house.

The king is enthralled by your beauty;

honour him, for he is your lord." -- Psalm 45:10-11

Jesus is welcoming His church and people into His holy presence at the end of days. When it comes, the glory of God will be marvellously displayed to its fullest grandor beyond our imagination. The heavenly beings will be rejoicing and leading His people to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The New Jerusalem will celebrate just as in a grand wedding bash. Picture it!

Brothers and sisters in-Christ, let us encourage one another to finish the race that the Lord has given us. Do not look at the road blocks and long windy paths immediately ahead of us, but focus on the end-point where God has prepared for us. As one of my pastors, Angela Chan once told me: "When we are faced with any uphill situation ahead of our path, PUSH on".
