Calvary Temple
He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called ‘trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord’, that HE might be glorified.

Anointed for Service and Adorned with Godliness
Both anointing and adornment were used symbolically to designate or identify people or things which had been set aside for service unto the Lord.
In Exodus 30:22-33 God told Moses to make a special anointing oil that would mark the temple furnishings and the priests as belonging to the service of the Lord.
In Psalm 149:4 and Isaiah 61:10, the bible says that God takes pleasure in his people and he adorns the humble with salvation and robes of righteousness and that those godly traits look just like a priestly headdress that a bridegroom adorns himself with, and sparkling jewels that a bride adorns herself with for her wedding day.
We are anointed for the Lord’s service by the Holy Spirit and adorned with his godliness.
