As a young man marries a maiden,
so will your sons marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.
Isaiah 62:5
Derek Webb, the guy in the picture above, is one of my favorite musicians. The man writes such pointed, intentional lyrics that don't shy away from true doctrine and accountability. One of my recent favorites is a song called "A New Law" from Mockingbird. Check it out. One of my oldest favorites from Derek Webb, a song that I actually saw him perform live a long time ago when he used to come lead worship for Sky Ranch during the summers, is "Wedding Dress." In this song he confesses his own shortcomings and hypocrisy. It's an amazing song, and an amazing reminder of how God sees His people. As you can see in this verse in Isaiah and so many others, God longs for us to see Him as our husband and for us to love Him as His bride. I urge you to look into this concept. Seek out the scriptures and you will see the amazing similarities between the relationship of a husband and wife and that which God desires to have with us.
