THE KING’S DAUGHTER
The following is written by a wonderful older woman, Connie Hultquist, about the “King’s daughter” of Psalm 45 who is “all glorious within.” Be blessed.
She is anointed with gladness above all her companions. As she sings and plays with her babies, the angels dance and sing about her (Matthew 18:10). She hears the Lord’s voice as she does her daily work.
She sets the table for supper. She shuts out her own household duties when she sees her mate coming home from work. She kisses him reverently and helps him with his coat and snowy shoes. She fixes his chair and gives him his mail. She sits on a chair beside him and asks him about his day. She speaks softly to the children and asks them to pick up their toys before supper.
She hears her husband praise her as he speaks to friends, “My wife stays at home with our children. Her prayers keep our family together. I love having my wife at home.”
This mother tells a story to the world. She is like Mary who entertained the angel with an obedient heart and gave birth supernaturally to God’s Son, Jesus. She is like Sarah who called her husband, lord, and gave birth to Isaac in her old age. She is like Hannah who gave birth to the prophet, Samuel.
The things of this world and all that glitters cannot compare to the spiritual treasures in this mother’s holy temple. She is a handmaiden for Christ, a covenant keeper. She is the King’s daughter and she is all glorious within.
