Gary Weins on Psalm 45:1

Psalm 45:1 is rippling through my mind this morning, as I consider the noble and worthy theme of the beauty of the Son of God. I so love the approach that St. Augustine took to this Psalm, pointing out that the Father of Glory is the first one to sing that hymn of praise to the Glorious Word, His Son Jesus who is the constant theme of the Father's heart. Then, Augustine points out that the secondary compositions that God sings to the Son are primarily His people, chosen by the Father in the Son before the worlds began, and presented to Him on the day of the gladness of His heart! We are the Father's song to His Son, perfectly composed and beautifully sung as a gift to Jesus. I love it!
