IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, OCTOBER 11, 2012
LEANING UPON HER BELOVED
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
Solomon 8:5
When Jesus came into the earth "he came unto his own" (John 1:11). The invitation for salvation had been given to the Jews. But when they rejected their Messiah, the invitation was open to all...to "whosover believeth" (I John 5:1). Still Jesus comes into his garden calling to "his sister, his bride," (Song of Solomon 5:1) desiring her. Yes, the Jewish nation is coming from the wilderness of sin and law, leaning upon her beloved, trusting in Jesus for completeness and shalom.
Today, let us pray for this togetherness.
