Some people feel like a small pebble lost in the immensity of a canyon. But no matter how insignificant we judge ourselves to be, we can be greatly used by God.
You do not have to be on your knees, or speaking in a super spiritual voice to have priceless communion with God.
TOTAL RECALL
PRAYER - "He Speaks To Me And Bids Me Come With Him"
Whether or not the Song of Solomon was intended to be an allegory representing the love between Christ and His bride, the Church, we can certainly believe that such a love affair does not misrepresent the intense love between Jesus and His saints. A modern meaning might not be found for every line in the song, but I do know that no one ever cared for me like Jesus. He has invited me to spend eternity in His presence.
Song of Solomon 2:10 - "My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."
PRINCIPALS - "The Song Of Solomon"
No one knows for certain who wrote "The Song of Solomon." It is a romantic dialogue between a greatly enamored woman and her lover - Solomon. She says, "the king hath brought me into his chambers." Sometimes, she shares her excitement with local virgins, the daughters of Jerusalem. Some Jewish scholars interpret the song as an allegory depicting the love between God and Israel. Some Christians apply it allegorically to Christ and His church. Whether or not it was intended to be an allegory cannot be proven either way.
Song of Solomon 1:1 - "The song of songs, which is Solomon's."
PRINCIPLES - "Cast Thy Bread Upon The Waters"
This is a curious, enigmatic statement. "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." Its context reveals that it is a charge to invest, to give, to plant. "He that observeth the wind shall not sow." Give and you shall receive. The liberal soul shall be made fat. He that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Ecclesiastes 11:6 - "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."
PROPHECIES - "The Afterlife"
It is the ultimate recall. From the moment God breathed the breath of life into Adam, man became a living soul. Since then, souls of men have been God's property. "All souls are mine," Ezekiel 18:4. Our souls do not reincarnate into plants, animals, or newborn babies. They go back to God and will be disposed of according to His plan: sinners to hell, saints to heaven. No other options.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 - "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
Ruling And Reigning with Jesus.
Have A Great 4th Of July.
