The Shulammite Woman - Her Legacy Of Prayer

The Shulammite Woman - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;

for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.

It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.

Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.

If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

— Song Of Songs 8:6 – 8

REFLECT ON:	Songs of Songs 1:2 – 4; 2:10 – 13; 8:6 – 8.
PRAISE GOD:	That nothing can separate us from his love.
OFFER THANKS:	That Christ’s passion has rendered us beautiful in the eyes of God.
CONFESS:	Any failure to believe God truly is the Lover of your soul.
ASK GOD:	To help you enter into this dialogue of love with him.

Lift Your Heart

The Shulammite woman was so captivated by her lover that his name was like perfume that made everything in her world smell good. In biblical times, names actually revealed the person. Knowing someone’s name was equivalent to knowing that person’s essence. This week, light a fragrant candle as you take time to reflect on one or more of God’s names. Look up relevant Scripture passages and ask God to reveal himself more deeply to you.

Creator of Heaven and Earth (Genesis 14:19)

My Song (Exodus 15:2)

Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)

Good Shepherd (John 10:14)

Counselor (John 14:26)

Father of Compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3)

Savior (1 Timothy 4:10)

Light (1 John 1:5)

Lord, I have placed you as a seal over my heart. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate me from your love.
