SESSION 13 : Song Of Songs Chapter 5:9-16 (TPT)

13 Looking at his gentle face, I see such fullness of emotion. Like a

lovely garden where fragrant spices grow- what a man! No one speaks
words as anointed as this one- words that both pierce and heal, words

like lilies dripping with myrrh.

14 See how his hands hold unlimited power! But he never uses it in

anger, for he is always holy, displaying his glory. His innermost place

is a work of art- so beautiful and bright. How magnificent and noble is
this one- covered in majesty!

15 He’s steadfast in all he does. His ways are the ways of
righteousness, based on truth and holiness. None can rival him but all

will be amazed by him.

16 Most sweet are his kisses, even his whispers of love. He is delightful

in every way and perfect from every viewpoint. If you ask me why I love

him so, O brides-to-be, it’s because there is none like him to me.
Everything about him fills me with holy desire! And now he is my

beloved-my friend forever.
A
s we read 5:9, the tone has a ring of perplexity to it. The

brides-to-be just don’t get it! How can it be that, despite all

the previous trauma and suffering she has experienced, the
Shulamite is totally undeterred in her pursuit of her Beloved? She is

consumed with love and compassion for Him—even though, at the
present time, it would seem that He has deserted her.
