o The Proverbs 31 woman is "clothed with strength and dignity"
o Isaiah 61 says "For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness"
o In Luke, Jesus speaks of being "clothed with power from on high"
o Paul says in Galatians 3 that if we are baptized in Christ then we have clothed ourselves with Christ!
o Ezekiel speaks of people being clothed in gloom or terror or despair (I'd sure like to avoid that dressing room!)
All this brought to mind the old hymn "The Solid Rock". The last verse of which says "Dressed in His righteousness alone,Faultless to stand before the throne."
I'm not sure it's possible for us - as humans - to imagine what it would be like to stand FAULTLESS? But - HOLY COW - do I ever want HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to be my greatest fashion statement!
