SESSION 7

"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on,

however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those
who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11, NIV)

In verse 13, we read how the Bridegroom-King is encouraging her to
believe what He is telling her and to take a step of faith into the new

season with Him. She is being called to run with Him to the higher

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:
