IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 2, 2013
MY BELOVED AND MY FRIEND
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Song of Solomon 5:16
The bride, in the Song of Solomon, finds the voice of her bridegroom to be sweet and wondrously lovely. Isn't that how Christ is to us? His Word always lifts us up, encouraging our spirit and soul. In the midst of this wicked world, He speaks words of peace, and love, and consolation. He sees the best in us and showers us with the blessings of His grace. We can be assured that Christ loves us, even adores us.
Today, let us love Jesus--our beloved and our friend!
