“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.” Proverbs 31:25
I appreciate Female Tiger Swallowtail butterflies. I enjoy the brilliant blue colors combined with the bright yellow color and black stripes. They wonderfully illustrate the glory of God. These butterflies do not appear anxious about the future but purposefully use their strength and freedom to gather food and establish the next generation. They are content to demonstrate the reality of God through their existence, who adorns Himself in dignity (Job 40:10).
By God’s grace, through our faith in Jesus, we also exhibit these qualities.
“The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.” Exodus 15:2
The strength of Joy comes from being grateful for God’s saving grace and righteousness. These attributes are our wings of bright yellow and blue colors bound by bold stripes. Let us show our colors where ever we go.
“I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 61:10
Beautifully said.
I appreciate your comment.
It is a blessing to study God’s creation and His word.
By God’s grace it produces insight (Proverbs 4:4-9).
Thanks to you Neal and to Lida and to your family. You are and have been an enduring inspiration.
John, Thank you for your enduring encouragement in the Lord. “May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.” Jude 2.
