Feast Your Eyes On This Crown

Throughout time, people have sat on thrones and worn diadems (crowns). Some leaders have worn their crowns well and brought honor to their people. Others have brought shame to their people. The later was the case with the chief tribe of the Northern Kingdom of Israel at the time of Isaiah. In contrast to the drunken leaders who wore crowns of shame; Isaiah 28:5 says of the LORD, “In that day the LORD of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people.” The LORD GOD is the CROWN of BEAUTY. If we’re looking for someone on whom to rest our eyes, we need look no further than the Lord Jesus.

Lord Jesus, DIADEM OF BEAUTY, glorious One, we honor and praise You, our Lord!
