Betrothed

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun"- Psalm 37: 5-6 (NIV).

The symbolism of the relationship between Christ and the church and the marriage between a man and a woman is a beautiful promise to those who trust God's word. The church is the bride of Christ; spoken another way, you are the bride of Christ. Our reward for trusting Him will shine like the dawn, like the shine of the engagement ring on the finger of the bride; a promise of the Groom's return for the one He loves. Christ will one day return to collect His bride from this sin-stained world, from the oppression of His church, of His bride. Yes, before the wedding feast, He will exact His vindication on those who have touched the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). Remain steadfast in your commitment; trust God; Jesus is coming soon. Even so, come Lord, Your betrothed awaits (Revelation 22:20).
