Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Crown of Glory She shall give to your head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to the Proverbs 4-9. There are five specific crowns mentioned in the New Testament as rewards for faithful service, presumably to be rewarded by Christ at His judgment seat. These are the incorruptible crown, the crown of righteousness, the crown of rejoicing, the crown of life, and lastly, the crown of glory. Although the crown of glory is mentioned only once in the New Testament, the phrase occurs four times in the Old Testament, each providing special insight into its character and scope. The first is Proverbs 4-9. Wisdom shall give to your head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to you. The other three are as follows. The horry head is a crown of glory if it be found in the way of righteousness, Proverbs 16-31. In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty under the residue of His people, Isaiah 28-5. Thou, probably a reference to the new Jerusalem, shall also be a crown of glory in the land of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of Thy God, Isaiah 62-3. The one New Testament reference in 1 Peter 5-4 is a wonderful promise to the faithful shepherds of each little flock of believers, and when the chief shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away. We do not know exactly what these crowns will be composed of, but when we see the Lord, we shall lay each of them before His throne.
