Look at the incredible generosity with which the Lord provides for His people's clothing. They're dressed so that His divine skill is seen in creating an unmatched embroidered work, revealing every attribute and divine beauty. No art compares to what's shown in our salvation, and no craftsmanship matches the righteousness believers wear. Justification has been studied by scholars throughout the church's history and will be admired forever.
God has intricately brought this about. Despite its complexity, it is also practical and durable, like being shod with badgers' skins. We don’t know the exact animal referred to, but its skin covered the tabernacle and was some of the strongest leather around. The righteousness from God by faith lasts forever. He who is prepared with this divine covering can safely walk through the desert and even face formidable challenges. The purity and dignity of our holy clothing are seen in the fine linen.
When the Lord sanctifies His people, they're dressed as priests in pure white, surpassing even snow in beauty. They're admirable in the eyes of men and angels, and spotless even to the Lord. Meanwhile, the royal apparel is as delicate and rich as silk. No expense is spared, no beauty withheld. So what does this mean?
Surely, it calls for gratitude and joy. Come, my heart, don't hold back your evening hallelujah! Let your voices sing! "How wondrously, my heart, you are clothed by the Great Sacred Three! In perfect harmony, let all your praises ring."
Closing Prayer
Lord, as this day closes, help us trust You fully, even when the path isn't clear. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
