"The Bride is Secure"

"Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth." (Psalms 45:16) It's not about what's behind, but what is ahead; that is what this verse speaks into my heart. Much is the same for the bride who is being married, as she is about to receive her new identity and begin her new life as the wife of her husband; at least that is the way it was for me and my wife; most marriages today consist of two lives blending into one, where he has his job and she has hers. The home becomes just a house, because the Homemaker has gone missing, and because in this modern society the role of a stay-at-home mother is looked down upon, when they should be looked up to. If you really think about it, this completely makes a perfect picture of the New Covenant that Jesus spoke to His disciples about; how that they were now no longer to focus upon the Old Testament ways of sacrifice and the covering of sin, but that there was a New Testament order that He had established; one where there was forgiveness of sin by the sacrifice He made upon the cross, and the fruit of that forgiveness would bear more fruit, as in spreading the gospel message unto others. Mother's teach their children to care for others, at least caring mothers do; fathers really don't care for much of that, they are more interested in work, hobbies and sports; but it is mothers that instill into their children the virtue of caring, because they themselves are cared for; at least that's how it is meant to be. Not so in this modern culture where the role of providing has been divided among the two, and cares have been distorted by ambitions and success. I am sorry, I might have stepped on a few toes, but I feel that there is a lot of truth in what I am talking about; besides, children need to have stability in their lives, and that is meant to come from the mother, the mother that is always there. Reading the N.L.T.'s version of this verse, it reads as such: "Your sons will become kings like their father. You will make them rulers over many lands." A little different take on what is being said, but it points in the same direction, forward... "So shall my word be that goeth fourth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the briar shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." (Isaiah 55:11-13)
