TOPIC: … I FOUND HIM…

READ: SONGS OF SOLOMON 3:1-11 (NKJV)1. By night on my bed I sought the one I love; I sought him, but I did not find him.2. “I will rise now,” [I said,] “And go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love.” I sought him, but I did not find him.3. The watchmen who go about the city found me; [I said,] “Have you seen the one I love?”

4. Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.5. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. THE SHULAMITE6. Who [is] this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?7. Behold, it [is] Solomon’s couch, [With] sixty valiant men around it, Of the valiant of Israel.8. They all hold swords, [Being] expert in war. Every man [has] his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night.

9. Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin:10. He made its pillars [of] silver, Its support [of] gold, Its seat [of] purple, Its interior paved [with] love By the daughters of Jerusalem.11. Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart. THE BELOVED

THE MESSAGE:The lover in our text is awakened to the reality that the one she loved was no longer with her. One will begin to wonder what led to the disappearance of her lover whom she had shared wonderful affections with. She quickly goes into a frantic search for her lover, daring the odds – she is able to find the one she loved and vows never to let him go again! We understood yesterday that there are little foxes that destroy our relationship with our bridegroom – Jesus Christ.

These little foxes can separate us from the love of our soul. Having realised this, it therefore lies on us to start early to search for Him in the place of repentance, confession and restitution, if need be. We must also be willing to clasp Him so tight to our bosom, and never to let go again. There is no point continuing on the journey of life if Jesus is missing in our lives; we must, just like Joseph and Mary, go back to ‘Jerusalem’ even if it will take us three days journey, in search of Him (Luke 2:41-46).

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I will never let You go, for there is none other that can take Your place in my life
