Title Let's Dress Up the Bride (3)

Hymn: (whole) Chapter 88 'My sincere longing'
Meditation: The teeth are the body parts for eating. The person of faith that the Lord sees beautifully is the role of the tooth as a religious element that longs for the person and life of Christ, puts the truth and inspiration into practice, and diligently eats everything that he hears, sees, and comes into contact with as his personality.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “Your teeth are like a sheared ewe that comes out of the bath, a lamb, without a young one, each giving birth to twins” (Song 4:2).
The Lord's bride must have beautiful teeth. However, after bathing, while in the water, the digestion function is activated and the teeth chew food hard. Bathing is to purify oneself. It means that the saints are diligent in the act of truth and inspiration, the food of the saints, for 'his own sanctification'. No matter what temptations and persecutions come, tribulation and trials come, you must eat food in advance in order to become a strong person who can keep your personality and not defile your faith. You must realize the truth right away and be sensitive to the influence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
"Sheared Ewe" = When a sheep is sheared, it will grow back and instinctively eat a lot to protect its body temperature. Just as sheep are sheared for their master, the efforts of the saints to read, understand, and practice the Bible are the role of the food eater, and this is for the work and glory of the Lord.
"Sheep giving birth to twins" = Mothers (all animals) who have given birth to babies eat a lot to get milk. However, since they are twins, they need to eat more. This is not for yourself or the master, but for the 'subordinates of the faith'. Through the knowledge of the Bible and the experience of faith, you can raise your juniors right away with the power of food you eat. Regardless of your juniors of faith, your own innocence, or the glory of God, you will never look beautiful if you are gnashing your teeth with your own greed and do not gossip about your feelings or interests.
How can you stand before the Lord, the bridegroom, with the teeth of a mother who bites and kills her young, and the teeth that are stained with yellow stains from greed for not brushing their teeth? I hope you become a person with beautiful teeth.
Prayer: Lord! Thank you. Help me to live today for the glory of God, for the nurturing of my juniors, and for keeping my own holiness. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
