📖 Psalm 45:1

Beautiful words stir my heart.
I will recite a lovely poem about the king,
for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

CONTEXT:
This verse introduces Psalm 45, a royal psalm that celebrates the king, likely written for a royal wedding. Historically, it refers to an earthly king of Israel, but it also points prophetically to the ultimate King—Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The psalmist is overwhelmed with joy and admiration as they prepare to honor the king with words of beauty and truth. Their heart is stirred by the greatness of the king, inspiring poetic praise.

DEVO:
This verse reminds us of the power of words to glorify God and stir hearts. When we meditate on the beauty, majesty, and goodness of Christ, our hearts can’t help but overflow with praise. Like the psalmist, we are called to use our words—whether spoken, written, or sung—to declare the greatness of our King.

REFLECTION:
What stirs your heart about Jesus today? His love? His faithfulness? His grace?

How can you use your “pen” (your words, talents, or creativity) to honor Him?
