Scripture of the Day - September 28, 2012

Revelation 21:9 ...Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

Bride, groom, wife, husband, marriage... all indicate relationship. God wants a relationship with each one of us. He doesn't want to be a far away cosmic being. He want's to be our husband, so to speak. All through the Bible God speaks of His people as His bride and He as the groom. He speaks of the marriage supper (and that ALL are called). 
My son is getting married in December. He proposed last December.  The bride-to-be has been preparing for that day ever since she was proposed to. The wedding magazines were pulled out the very next day and the preparations had begun. All year long that wedding has been on their mind as they prepared for it. They are both so excited and getting more so as the day approaches. 
We too have something to be excited about and we ought to be preparing for it. Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a place for us who've accepted the call to the marriage supper of the Lamb. We are blessed beyond measure and we ought to focus on that. We ought to be preparing for that. We ought not to be distracted  by the things of this world and miss out on the wedding feast! Revelation 19:9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
