Psalm 45

It took me about two minutes to read this wedding psalm. In verse 2 the psalm writer speaks of God's blessings upon the groom. I believe that the purpose of the blessing coming upon the groom is so that he can, in turn, pour them out upon his bride. Because this is the picture of Jesus (the groom of Heaven) and his bride (the church).  The first instruction to the bride (vs 10) is to forget her past, and focus only on her future with her groom. Again I see this as another foreshadow of the Church forgetting the life before surrendering to the cross, and pursuing the heart of God, which he has fully revealed in Jesus.
