THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH

Psalms 19:4,5 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

From its beginning, this psalm tells us about the glory of God as shown through His heavenly handiworks.
From the beginning this psalm tells us of the words uttered by the voices in the heavens and the firmament.
From the beginning God created the heavens and the earth as his signature to us. He placed the heavenly bodies in the firmament of the heavens as a book telling us of his love.
From the beginning he placed the sun in the midst of the firmament, as if it were its home, its tabernacle.

In the wee hours of the morning, the sun appears on the eastern horizon in a battle royal against darkness and frost. With a single glimpse of sunlight darkness flees, frigidity melts away. None can help it; none can change it--no never. All throughout the day the sun gives its warmth to all on earth. As a strong valiant knight of light and warmth, he fights the demons of darkness and cold, forever rejoicing and feasting of his uncompromising and ever gallant victories.

How like the Sun, Jesus-Christ the Sun of Righteousness Himself lives and shines daily through the “eastern gate” of our hearts to be revered as the Son of God-- marking His unalterable victory over the demons that would keep us in the cold darkness of night.

Let Him rise each morning in the eastern sky of your soul. Let Him fight your battles as the valiant knight to whom you, his fair lady, have given your colors of devotion.

2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
