SESSION 7 :  Song of Songs Chapter 2:11-17; 3:1-5



          place. There is an urgency in His voice—almost as if He is saying there

          is no time to waste. There is a world outside of herself that needs to be
          reached, and this can only become a reality when she has allowed Him

          to make her into a vessel that manifests His resurrection life.

          Notice how it is all His work in us. Verse 14 begins with the words:


          “For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock.”


          In the New Testament, we read something similar with regard to being
          hidden:


          “Since,  then,  you  have  been  raised  with  Christ,  set  your  hearts  on

          things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. For you

          died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." (Colossians 3:1–
          3, NIV)



          This  rock  in  which  we  are  hidden  is  none  other  than  Jesus  Christ
          Himself. And as such, He is unchangeable, immovable, impenetrable,

          unshakeable, steadfast, strong, secure, and totally dependable.

          He is our hiding place:



          “In  the  shelter  of  your  presence  you  hide  them  from  all  human
          intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.”

          (Psalm 31:20, NIV)


          “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and

          surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalm 32:7, NIV)
