Songs of Solomon 6 KJV study

God is looking for a lover

1. In Songs of Solomon 6, Solomon lamented that his lover is nowhere to be found.
2. Solomon described the beauty of his lover – vs.4, Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
3. And Solomon was grieved because his lover had turned her side on him – vs.1, Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
4. In that same way, God is not happy; He is sad when we turn aside from His commandment and put our hands into iniquity.
5. God is love; He loves us, and we are supposed to be His lovers.
6. He created us in beauty, and made all nature beautiful for our use, but despite the love He has showered on us, we occasionally work away and turn aside from him.
7. In verse 3, Solomon said he belongs to his love and his love belongs to him. The same way we can describe our relationship with God.
8. As children of God, we belong to God because God is also our maker; we can describe God as our father, our heavenly belonging, because without God we can do nothing.
9. The chapter ends by Solomon calling upon his beloved, who is described as a Shunnamite, to return.
10. The word ‘return’ was mentioned 3 times in verse 13; Solomon called his beloved to return to him because he wants to look upon her beauty.
11. The same way Solomon knew the ethnic group of his beloved. God knows everything about us because he created us, and He is calling upon us to return.
12. The same way Solomon asked his beloved repeatedly to return, God is by his mercy as not shut the door of salvation on us. He keeps telling us to return to him, he keep send messages to us in dreams, visions, and through prophets that we should return to him because he still wants to relate with us.
13. Are you going to hear the call of God today and return to him?
