Isaiah 61:10-11, Galatians 3:26-27
I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.
The wedding garment in the parable represents Christ's righteousness. When we accept Jesus, we are clothed in His perfection, making us acceptable in God's presence. This is not something we earn, but a gift of grace. Today, meditate on what it means to be "clothed in Christ." How does this change your self-perception? Your approach to sin and failure? Thank God for covering your imperfections with His righteousness. Ask Him to help you live in a way that reflects this new identity, putting off the old self and embracing the new creation you are in Christ.
