Fashioned By God

Isaiah 61:10-11

I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

Garments of Salvation & Robe of Righteousness: with a robe of righteousness connected to it. The robe is the mantel, a loose sleeveless cloak, that is placed over your garments. God clothes you in salvation which is freedom from sin. Jesus saved you from the death of sin by his blood being poured out on the cross so we can have eternal life in heaven. Then God places a mantel of righteousness on you. Righteousness is one of the chief attributes of God that we must desire. Acting in accord with divine or moral law, living free from guilt or sin.

Robe of Forgiveness: the robe, in this case, means "costly raiment" only worn on great occasions and changed after the occasion. This is a shift of garments that God says put down your guilt and shame to put on the robe of forgiveness. Daily people sin in their fleshly nature. daily we must change into garments in their purity and freshness that God provided the costly garment of forgiveness through His son Jesus.

Garments of Praise: Even in the moments when your heart is the heaviest, God says rejoice. It is during the pressing seasons that the oil of joy gets pressed out of you like pressing an olive to produce oil. The heaviness is an indication that something great is on the way. Your sunshine is coming. Start expressively praising God now and be expectant for what is coming.

You are clothed in the finest garments. Fashioned by God, tailor-made for His glory.

Zechariah 3:4 (AMP)

He (God) spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And He said to Joshua, “See, I have caused your wickedness to be taken away from you, and I will clothe and beautify you with rich robes [of forgiveness].”

Isaiah 61:3 (AMP)

To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:

To give them a turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],

The oil of joy instead of mourning,

The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.

So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
