Psalm 65:11 You crown the year with your goodness.....
This is the beginning of a week of Jubilee celebrations of our Queen's 70th year on the throne of the United Kingdom. Although she doesn't wear a physical crown on her head every day, she has certainly worn one for all the State occasions over the past seven decades.
I realised though that she's not the only one who gets to wear a crown as I started thinking about the crowns that we have been given and will be given by God.
Psalm 103:4 He redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies. How wonderful those crowns are on our heads every day! Just take a minute and adjust your crowns.😊
James 1:12 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
2 Timothy 4:8 And now the prize awaits me - the crown of righteousness...and the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
A long time ago Jesus wore a crown of thorns so that we will be able to wear a crown of life, a crown of righteousness and other crowns too, for which we'll be forever thankful.
So as we start our new week, or whenever we see a picture of the Queen wearing her crown, let's remember we're children of the most High God. We are also crowned at this very moment with His loving kindness and tender mercies, and He's even crowned our year with His goodness which is certainly something to celebrate this Jubilee week and every week! 😊
Thank You Lord. We give you all the glory.
