ROYAL DIADEM

DIANE'S LOGO
DEEP CALLS UNTO THE DEEP

 Devotions:

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
                                 ~Psalm 45:13~

Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: 
                                         ~Psalm 45:9a~




This is a symbol for royalty, a diadem/a crown.  It signifies kingship,  a kingdom ruler.






WIKIPEDIA







  
English: Diadem. Gold. Greek, probably made in Alexandria, Egypt, 220 - 100 B.C. The piece probably belonged to a noble woman of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. The clasp is shaped as a protective Herakles knot



  

If I am a King's daughter, I am a princess and all rights of being one is due me.  But with it, comes duties and responsibilities to keep up with the stature.  The question, then, would be, am I fit to be one, not by virtue of my inheritance and bloodline, but by my actions and character?


Psalm 43:13, means to me, that being a King's daughter, I would be all glorious within.  My clothing is embroidered with gold.  This is a picture of the marriage between Christ, the head of His Church, as the Bridegroom,  and the Bride, His Church, chosen, pure and Holy, sanctified....... therefore, all glorious in the chamber (heaven).

To apply this knowledge into my life here on earth, and in order for me to be worthy of this calling (a member of the Bride/Church/Body), I have these points to consider:

1.  I must be sure, I have professed/vowed to be a Bride-meaning I am sure of my salavation.  I am a gentile, my bloodline is not a direct one, but by adoption.  I became a child of God, through Jesus' death on the cross and by His resurrection, I was redeemed and purchased, my sins which blocked me entry to heaven, washed away spotless. 

2.  I shall continue to abide in God, to cleave - securely cling to the Vine, by my daily life-inhalation with the purifying words in the scripture, and exhale in prayers everything necessary, like confessions and petitions as well as my Praises and Thanksgiving towards God.

3.  Daily life of devotion, being quiet outwardly and inwardly, in meditation of His words, His speaks to me His instructions, guidance and wisdom .

4.  Think about others, their welfare and love them as I love myself.  Encourage one another in prayer and in words-to edify them and to help each other towards the day when Christ Jesus comes back for us.

Of course, our outer self, our shortcomings, our sins are not important to God.  What is important is how we live all this things up, how we dealt with our sins through confessions, how we have forgiven other who have sinned against us ....in short how we traveled this life here on earth. 


The beauty should come from within.


Note:  It is known that Earthly Princes and Princesses are born and are trained, in all finesse, for the position and duties they would, one day, be occupying.

How would we then be prepared for our position in the Kingdom of Heaven as prince and princesses?

"You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God."

Lord, may I be worthy to adorn your court when that day comes.  Help me while here in my sojourn, as an alien on this earth.  Apart from your guidance and will, Oh God, I am nothing.  May I be a vessel for your honor and glory.

    You words are so beautiful and sometimes I feel so humbled because I am simply in awe of how you all write. I would always think, am I getting across.

    Anyway, whatever I write I lift them up to God for blessings that it might bless readers. There are also those times, you and my other circle of friends, find jewels of thought out of them, and gee how I praise and thank God, knowing that it should be coming from His wisdom, not mine. All glory belongs to Him, and it is such a joy that He could use a voice like mine.

    Thanks you, and more blessings to you, with my love,

    Lolita

  7. Oh, Lolita...

    I am truly humbled by your words. I don't even know how to respond...

    I love sharing the GIFT of God's Word with anyone who desires to open that gift. I love that we can come to our Father's banqueting table and feast on His Word. Have it nourish us. Then go out and live it.

    I appreciate your gratitude my dear friend. Thank YOU for showing it. I am so blessed by your friendship!
