Psalm 45:6-9

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

Lord, I am finding it very difficult to keep my focus on You this morning. Here is a beautiful passage, describing the glories of Your kingdom and I am stuck on fleeting problems and concerns. Help me to lift my eyes to Your glories and away from the little bumps in my path. Help me to see that my life must express the righteousness and aromas of the Kingdom; that the harmonies of heavenly music must be seen and heard in my life and I must realize that as Your bride, You have clothed me with joy.
