Psalm 45

This is a song celebrating the king's wedding, but is also a Messianic psalm, describing the King's glory.  Just read this yesterday from a devotional by Tozer, " Brethren, there can be no argument about Jesus Christ's glory - it lay in the fact that He was perfect love in a loveless world; that He was perfect purity in an impure world; and that He was perfect meekness in  a harsh and quarrelsome world. Patience in suffering, unquenchable life and God's grace and truth were in the eternal Word, as well. This is the divine and eternal glory that earth's most famous and capable personalities can never attain!"  John the apostle wrote, " .. and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." ( John 1:14b)

Looking at this psalm from that perspective we see:

"Thou art fairer than the sons of men;
Grace us poured upon Thy lips;
Therefore God has blessed Thee forever." ( v2)

He is armed with a mighty sword in splendor and majesty.
He rides victoriously for the "cause of truth and meekness and righteousness."
His right hand - teaches awesome things.
His arrows are sharp.
His throne is forever.
His scepter is righteous.
He loves righteousness and hates wickedness.
He is anointed by the Father.
His garments are filled with sweet perfume.

His bride - the church is described next:
She is noble.
She is clothed in gold.
She is beautiful and desirable.
She is humble.
She is glorious.
She is presented to her groom with joy and gladness.

" ... Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless." 
(Ephesians 5:25-27)

When I think of the glory of Christ, my mind goes first to His power and His greatness as Creator.
But, here, the focus is His truth, meekness, and righteousness. And as Tozer said, His love, His purity, His meekness, His patience, His grace,  and His unquenchable life.  His character is flawless and can not be matched by mankind.  And by His perfect love and grace He has chosen to make us His bride.
He transforms us.. one by one... so that we become full of glory - filled with truth, righteousness, meekness, patience, and love - all the character traits that He displays for us in Himself.

What grace!  Oh Lord, help us to behold Your glory and to worship You with all our hearts!  Transform us by renewing our minds, by melting, molding, and making us holy and blameless, as only You can do.  You are the Potter and we are the clay.  Form us into the noble, beautiful, meek, glorious bride that You desire and cherish.
Amen.
