forgetting our people

LAND56 (3)Psalm 45

These words are mostly addressed to the newly crowned king, praising him because God has blessed him with greatness.  But the later verses (11-17) are addressed to the king’s bride.  She is advised to forget her people and her father’s house, because in place of her fathers shall be her sons.  There is a lesson for those of us who are the bride of king Jesus as well.  We need to let go of the baggage of the past, and concentrate on the joy that awaits us.  Our future is what the marriage is all about.

LORD, help us to forget what is behind, and press on to the joy that awaits us.
