Dear Friends,
Today’s devotional should fill you with joy as you consider the robe God has given believers to cover their nakedness. Take a little time to meditate it and see what it does for you. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Isaiah 61:10 (ESV)

  I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
  my soul shall exult in my God,
  for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
  he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
  as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
  and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

AWAKE, MY HEART; ARISE, MY TONGUE

“Awake, my heart; arise, my tongue,
Prepare a tuneful voice;
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.

’Tis He adorned my naked soul,
And made salvation mine;
Upon a poor polluted worm
He makes His graces shine.

And lest the shadow of a spot
Should on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Savior wrought,
And cast it all around.

How far the heavenly robe exceeds
What earthly princes wear!
These ornaments, how bright they shine!
How white the garments are!

The Spirit wrought my faith, and love,
And hope, and every grace;
But Jesus spent His life to work
The robe of righteousness.

Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed
By the great Sacred Three!
In sweetest harmony of praise
Let all thy powers agree.”

[Isaac Watts]
