Song of Solomon 3:1-11
3:1-3 As the Shulamite was separated by society from her love, so are we sometimes distracted by the secular world from our love: God. But like her, we must steadfastly search, with out whole heart, for God. We must work and want to maintain our relationship with Him.
3:4 When she found him, she kept him close and brought him to her family to solidify their relationship. We must hold onto our relationship with God and allow it to permeate through out entire lives.
3:5 Of course we have a relationship with God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit here on earth, but upon the second advent, our relationship will be even more tangible. The Shulamite reminds us to be patient and obedient during the intermission.
3:6-11 Solomon offered the Shulamite everything the world could offer but none of it compared to her relationship with the humble man. Likewise the secular world might often tempting or shiny or many things but an authentic relationship is permanent and valuable beyond any of those temporary things. And a relationship with God offers better blessings than money can buy.
