I went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley, to see if the vines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom.
Before I realized it, my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.
(Song of Solomon 6:11, 12, NIV)
The Bridegroom told us a few chapters back that winter is past. Now the bride goes down into her orchards to see if things are in bloom.
It's a blessing to know that the Son is always shining inside us, but are we growing any fruit? Are our vines budding to make the miracle wine that our love is compared to?
Hmmm...I know there are some parts of my garden that I need the Holy Spirit to blow on, amen?
Though the bride has been seeking in the city, she now is in her own garden, tending to the process of producing fruit for the king--in season and out.
As she does, she finds herself in the royal chariots among her people, exalted and made an example. This was not her goal though. Even from this high place, her eyes is always on the lookout for her lover.
Let's join Sistah Bride today in setting our sights on Christ today. He's a sight to behold.
Have a blessed and juicy day!
