Scripture - Song of Songs 1

Observation - Many people believe that the Song of Songs is a work of art. It is a melody sung from the heart of Jesus Christ for his longing bride - the church, comprised of you and me. We’re inviting you to read this book with us, with that idea of it’s context in mind.

In the midst of feeling unworthy, God calls us lovely... The Passion Translation words verse 5 like this: “Jerusalem maidens, in this twilight darkness I know I am so unworthy—so in need.  Yet you are so lovely!  I feel as dark and dry as the desert tents of the wandering nomads. Yet you are so lovely— like the fine linen tapestry hanging in the Holy Place.”

Application - Where do you need to hear God call you lovely, righteous, whole today? Take a few moments to let God remind you with the words of this chapter that HE DESIRES YOU. Write a prayer to God, thanking him for his LOVE, GRACE and REDEMPTION. Pray that prayer below.
