O my darling companion, I see you as my mare among Pharaoh’s chariots! Song 1:9
The journey ahead is not for the faint of heart. Courage is needed to survive the heat, and eyes to see what He sees. This is how you will carry Him into His victory!

The Pathway to Love (Song 1:8)
Finally! Solomon sends back an answer to the Shulamite about how she can find him. I hope it arrived faster than it took for me to return here. :-) Now the only question remaining is, “Will she venture out?”

And Wisdom Wore a Veil (Song 1:7)
There is a wisdom spoken among the mature.

The Impatient Patience of Love (An Intro to Song 1:7)
“I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; Of squeezing it into little inkdrops and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.”
Being in love and in a wilderness – is there any more wrenching place to be?

Beautiful Obscurity (Song 1:6 continued)
Jay Ferris had a striking analogy that was not always understood at first, saying,“The Kingdom of God is like a drop dead gorgeous woman who walks into a room full of women – gender neutral.”

Being Gazed Upon – An Intro to Song 1:5-7
I am black, and lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem…Don’t see me only as dark, because the sun has looked upon me this way. My brother’s burned in anger with me; they made me guard the vineyards; but I have not guarded my own. Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you go to feed your flocks? Why should I be as one that is veiled by the flocks of your companions? ~Song 1:5-7

House of Peace or House of Cards?
King David, Solomon’s father, was said to be a man “after God’s own heart.” Not so much after His mind, His purpose, His plans, but His heart. There’s something passionate in this that I can’t shake. David was a visionary for the central part of God, the part that makes Him tick and from which everything flows.
