31:22 - wedding clothes

She makes for herself coverlets, cushions and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure white and fine, and of purple (such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple are made).

Jerusalem rejoices because of what the Lord has done. She is like a bride dressed for her wedding. God has clothed her with salvation and victory. (Is.61:10)
Those who win the victory will be clothed like this in white, and I will not remove their names from the book of the living. In the presence of my Father and of his angels I will declare openly that they belong to me. (Rev.3:5)
Let us rejoice and be glad; let us praise his greatness! For the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself for it. She has been given clean shining linen to wear (The linen is the good deeds of God's people.) (Rev. 19:7-8)

This may seem funny, but I think of Braveheart - the movie about William Wallace - and the little napkin that his wife lovingly prepared for him on the day of the wedding. A lot of the old traditions that have been lost in our new 'modern' society is a tragedy to me.

Our wedding day is coming soon with Jesus, what can I lovingly prepare for Him as a gift and token of my love? ...
...every work that is not done by Him will be burned away, so the best gift to give is to have a willing and ready heart to obey whenever His voice calls. :)
