9. Kings’ daughters were among thy honorable women. The lowly and pure in heart are esteemed by the Lord Jesus as his most
familiar friends; their place in his palace is near the throne. The day will
come when those who are kings’ daughters literally will count it their
greatest honor to serve the church, and meanwhile every believing sister is
spiritually a King’s daughter. Upon thy right hand, in the place of
love, honor, and power, did stand the queen in gold of Ophir: the church
shares her Lord’s honor and happiness; he sets her in the place of dignity, he
clothes her with the best of the best. Ophir gold is the purest known. Jesus
bestows nothing inferior or of secondary value upon his beloved church. In
imparted and imputed righteousness the church is divinely arrayed. Happy are
those who are members; unhappy those who persecute the beloved people, for as a
husband will not endure that his wife should be insulted or maltreated, so
neither will the heavenly Husband.
