This verse speaks to the beauty that comes from devotion and honor. The king, representing Christ or a godly authority, greatly desires the beauty of the bride (the Church or a devoted follower) because of her faith and loyalty. The beauty mentioned here is not just an outward appearance but a reflection of inner virtue and worship. The "king" desires the beauty of the one who honors Him, and this beauty comes from the love, respect, and worship she offers. In the context of faith, it teaches that God desires our hearts to be fully devoted to Him, and our beauty as believers is rooted in our submission and love for Him. The reference to worship underscores the idea that true beauty in God’s eyes comes from living in a state of reverence and honor. For Christians, this is a reminder that our worth is not found in how the world views us but in how God sees us as His beloved bride. This verse calls for an intimate relationship with the King, where our beauty shines brightest through worship, honor, and devotion.
Psalms 90:17
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Proverbs 11:22
As a jewel of gold in a swine s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
Song of Solomon 4:5
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
