December 6: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psa. 45:7

The "little flock" of overcomers, of this age, now "espoused to one husband, even Christ," will soon be "the queen in the gold of Ophir"—clothed in the glory, honor and immortality of the divine (gold) nature. She will be at the "right hand" of her Lord—the place of favor. She is addressed in her present espoused condition, and told how she may best prepare for her high calling and future station—"Hearken O daughter (of Jehovah) and consider, and incline thine ear"—Give attention to Jehovah's instructions—search the Scriptures—learn of him. "Forget also thine own people and thy father's house"—forget the world, its vanities, its smiles, its frowns, its praises and its scorn—Be dead to the world. "So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty." Have respect only to His approval, His smile, His praise and His frown; "for He is thy Lord and worship thou him." R354
