It’s been my prayer that Jesus would be to me more beautiful than the face and form of a woman, even the most beautiful woman in the world. Does this seem like a strange thing to hear me say?
Consider this verse:
“You are fairer than the children of men!” -Psalm 45:2
Yes, Jesus is incomparably beautiful to me. Among those born of men there is no one like Him!
I think of Solomon and how His love of foreign women destroyed his relationship with God.
Solomon counted the beauty of the human face and form as to be of more value than the beauty of the Divine face and form.
It led to the idolatry of women, which ended with Solomon turning his heart away from God.
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women… These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love… and his wives turned his heart away. -1 Kings 11:1-3
