Psalm 45—An Answer to Homesickness
Monday, November 24th, 2008 | Uncategorized
I was listening to a sermon from my church in SD on marriage (really really good sermon on Ephesians 5) and in that sermon the pastor mentioned Psalm 45. I looked it up and started to read verses that God seemed to be saying just to me….
“Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: Forget your people and your father’s family. The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor Him, for He is your Lord.”
Now at first when I read the word “forget” I was a bit astounded. I don’t think God is calling me to literally forget everyone back home. But I think He is calling me to let go of them a bit more and be totally in the moment here. I am here to honor and worship God by serving Him. He loves me and I love Him and that has a lot to do with my being here.
P.S. As I read the part that says “enthralled by your beauty,” I have a hard time believing it. Is that really possible?? But sometimes when I feel the most broken and empty, that is when God reminds me of His Love the most. He must see something in me that I don’t always see.
