His Presence Brings Delight

-Meditation-

Song of Songs 2:3b

With great DELIGHT I sat in His shadow

The Hebrew word for delight in this verse is hamad: Desire, delight in, to be pleasing, be desirable. To delight.

--The Secret Place--

What does it mean to have, or take, great delight in something or someone? Delight is the state of enjoyment, and pleasure, that which every heart longs for. Happiness. Gladness. Joy. Love. These are all emotions that cause delight to come to the human heart, and only God can cause TRUE DELIGHT to come to our hearts. With great delight I sat in His shadow. I believe this is a picture of what our time with the Lord looks like. The Lord's 'shadow' is His presence in the secret place whether we feel it or not, He sees in secret, and He is in the secret place waiting and longing for us to come. He wants us to come, sit(rest) at His feet, pouring out all of our LOVE on Him, and receiving the Love He has for us. The delight He has for us releases His own delight into our hearts, causing us to be filled with the fullness of joy in the good times and in the bad times. The Lord is sending out an invitation to every heart, hungry, thirsty, dull, and alive to sit at His feet, with Him where He is, and be filled with the delight of His heart for them. Will we sit in His shadow today and let Him be our delight??

I want to encourage you to let God love you. He looks past the stars in the universe, and He looks past the planets in motion, past the sky, and past the vast oceans through the trees, and big cities looking for people who love Him, and people who are willing to let Him love them. The eyes of the Lord look to and fro across the earth seeing if there are any who seek God, any who understand. Psalm 14:2.

We are dark, but lovely. Song 1:5

We are beautiful!!! Song 1:15; 4:1

We have captivated the Kings heart! And our love, weak and broken, is better than wine. Song 4:9-10

Let Jesus drench you with the way He feels about you! HE LOVES YOU WITH ALL OF HIS HEART!!!! Only when we know how He loves us are we strengthened to love Him with all we are.(1 John 4:19)

---Intercession---

I want to charge you all to pray through the Song of Solomon, and declare what the Lord says about you over yourself, and also over your family, friends, school, church, and generation.

We ask the Spirit of truth to lead us and guide us into all truth. He is faithful to complete the work He has started within our hearts, and lives.

Jesus I love you, and I just pray for every heart struggling to receive what you say, and what You think about them, and I just pray that you would make it abundantly clear how you feel about them to them, and that you would give them hearts to receive Your love.

Lord You are worthy of all of our praise, and all of the glory. We love You Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. In Your Name. Amen
