The King's Daughter - Psalm 45:6-15


Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.  
Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness: therefore, God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.  
King's daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour. 
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 
She shall be brought unto the king in rainment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.





To my daughter,

The Lord once told me, "Walk like a queen."  And so I am endeavouring to learn exactly what that is. The Holy Spirit is leading and guiding me down that path. So now, my daughter,  I write you as one. You are part of a royal family. And holding such a place of honor carries with it responsibilites. Your King, has paid the highest price to ransom you from certain death. The price for your release was His only Son's blood. His Son, the apple of His eye, was tortured and put to a gruesome death that you might live. This is not a fairy tale - this is Truth. Do we not owe Him our gratitude and allegiance?  "King's daughters were among thy honourable women."  Do we not owe Him a life given over to honour? "The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold."  Your are called to be wedded to a coming King. Will He find you ready and waiting dressed in golden purity with light in your eyes? Or will He marry someone else, because you left Him alone at the altar?  You were born my daughter for greatness and to be a light to the daughters of men. I once told you that you were an Esther to your generation. I still believe that. I am praying for you  and believe that my heart will be filled with joy as I watch you fulfill your destiny.
