Honey Drop 48: The Adorning God

eejoseph,

“For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.” — Psalm 149:4

The joy that clothes

This is not private mercy. 
It is shared delight. 
The Lord takes pleasure— 
not just in a person, 
but in a people.

And He does not just save. 
He adorns.

The loincloth- the robe

The humble do not clamor.  

They bow.  

They do not dress themselves in strength.  

They wait to be clothed.

And God—  

He wraps them in salvation.  

Not as armor.  

But as beauty.

The drop

This is not pity.  

It is pleasure.

Not survival.  

But splendor.

The Lord rejoices in the lowly.  

And He makes them radiant  

with His own rescue.

 The proud wear achievement.  
 The humble wear grace.  
And the Lord calls it beautiful.
