And
in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right
hand shall teach You awesome things. – Psalm 45.4
This
caught my eye simple because of the beautiful wording. Something clicked in my
head about the majesty of our Saviour as our great Victor riding in on His
chariot.
Spurgeon
of course has all the right words for what I wanted to say.
And in
thy majesty ride prosperously. The hero monarch armed and apparelled is now
entreated to ascend his triumphal car. Would to God that our Immanuel would
come forth in the chariot of love to conquer our spiritual foes and seize by
power the souls whom he has bought with blood. Because of truth and meekness
and righteousness. These words may be rendered, ride forth upon truth and
meekness and righteousness.—Three noble chargers to draw the war chariot of the
gospel.
When I
read this I was reminded of the great parade of triumph that Paul wrote about
to the Corinthian believers.
The
victory is already accomplished. God will ride forth in majesty and Jesus will
lead the victory parade. As a part of these parades flowers would be strewn in
the streets and the horses and troops marching over them would produce a ‘sweet
smelling savour. Paul says that we Christians carry that sweet smelling savour
into the world.
So let
God ride forth in majesty and may we carry that sweet smelling aroma to
everyone around in truth, and meekness, and righteousness.
