OT: Song of Solomon, Chapter 5

Song of Solomon 5:1-16

5:1 Just as this young man had done, Jesus has prepared a garden for His family.

5:2-8 The Shulamite was anxious to be with her beloved. She searched for him, most particularly when she felt separated by him because of the secular world. Similarly must we cling to our relationship with Jesus as the way of the world works quietly to disengage us from our faith.

5:9 The king was confused. He did not understand why the Shulamite chose the other man instead of him, who offered her jewels and fame. 

5:10-16 The Shulamite described her love as "altogether lovely" and her friend. Though the rest of the world may not understand, our love and awe for our Father and Friend is fierce. We worship and revere Him for the beauty of His love and character.
