SESSION 7



          In the final verse of this session, we see that the Shulamite is once again

          called  to  a  time  of  waiting  upon  the  Lord.  During  this  time  of  re-
          dedication,  the  Jerusalem  maidens  are  instructed  not  to  disturb  her

          apparent  state  of  inactivity  until  she  herself—by  the  Holy  Spirit’s
          prompting—senses that she is ready to move forward.


          I  have  mentioned  before  that  the  Jerusalem  maidens  are  immature

          believers who have yet to understand the benefits of just being with the
          Lord, as opposed to constantly doing. They can be used as instruments

          of the enemy  to  prevent  the deep purposes  of God from  coming to
          fruition, because they seek to call others to seasons of activity of which

          He has no part.


          It is important that, as believers, we respect our brothers and sisters and
          do not attempt to manipulate or control their Christian walk—which,

          after all, is a matter for the Lord and the individual to pursue.
