The King is ENTHRALLED by your beauty. Psalm 45:11
I have always loved that verse! I quote it because it sounds good in certain situations but I have never study that verse very closely! As I was preparing for the princess party talk this verse immediately came to mind.
Enthralled- I had absolutely no idea what that word meant so I had to look it up! The definition of enthralled- filled with wonder and delight, to captivate, to enchant! We know that when the verse says King we know its talking about Jesus. Now read that verse again.
The King is Enthralled by your beauty.
Replace the word enthralled with the definition of enthralled.
The King is captivated by your beauty.
The King is delighted by your beauty.
The KING is enchanted by YOUR beauty.
Are you catching what I am throwing at you- the King, not just any king mind you but THE KING is enthralled by your beauty.
The King is enthralled by your beauty- you are beautiful!
That’s hard to believe sometimes isn’t it? When you compare yourself to other people- you make this list in your head of all the things you think are wrong with you- my hair is the wrong color, I’m too big, my nose does not fit my face, these ankles are soooo not attractive- etc. I know I am so guilty of this.
Psalm 139:13-14 - For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
I want you to focus on these verses- You created my innermost beings, You knit me together. Now the psalmist is talking to God so let’s replace You with God. God created my innermost beings. God knit me together. I don’t know if you know this or not but God is perfect. Everything He creates He did so perfectly. He created us perfect. He did not make a mistake on you- you were made wonderfully. Now I’m talking about our appearance- Im not talking about the fact that we are sinners (because we are sinners and we as humans are not perfect in that sense). But you were made wonderfully. You are the way you are because God has a purpose for it!
You are beautiful.
