Verse of the Day 2/23

Verse of the Day 2/23

Song of Solomon 2:14 (HCSB) My dove, in the clefts of the rock,
in the crevices of the cliff,  let me see your face,
let me hear your voice;  for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.

I read this verse earlier this morning in my devotional Bible reading.  I don't know how many times I've read it before but this morning it moved me.

One of the first things that attracted me to my wife Jean when we were teenagers was her voice.  The face of a person and the voice are naturally one of the first things you notice when you meet someone.  Should that meeting develop into love you will continue to learn more about them and love will grow between you and that special person.

 

Reading about the clefts of the rock and crevices of the cliff reminded me of the times shared in the difficult times, some of which were like being caught between the proverbial "rock and a hard place".  It is in those times that the sweet voice and face of your love, your soul mate mean the most to you and bring you strength, comfort, hope and shore up your faith when it may be weak.

 

As Christian's, we can thank God for our spouses, may we seek their love, hear their sweet voice in the hard times,  may we also realize that the Lord is also with us in those tight places and seek His face and His help.  May we look to Him and find Him in prayer and in His Word.

 

Psalm 27:7-8 (HCSB)

 ⁷ LORD, hear my voice when I call;
be gracious to me and answer me.
⁸ My heart says this about You,
"You are to seek My face."
LORD, I will seek Your face. 
 

Blessings,

Psalm 27:4-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

 ⁴ I have asked one thing from the LORD;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
gazing on the beauty of the LORD
and seeking Him in His temple.
⁵ For He will conceal me in His shelter
in the day of adversity;
He will hide me under the cover of His tent;
He will set me high on a rock.
⁶ Then my head will be high
above my enemies around me;
I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

 ⁷ LORD, hear my voice when I call;
be gracious to me and answer me.
⁸ My heart says this about You,
"You are to seek My face."
LORD, I will seek Your face.
