A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. Song of Solomon 5:10
This is a picture of the Lord Jesus when He comes in white robes and His hair white as wool which purifies us by His blood. He is our beloved Savior of our souls that will change our vile bodies into glorified bodies like His. We will be cleansed as white as snow. Let us look to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. The Shulamite wife is talking about Solomon who is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, to those of us who are saved and are becoming more like Jesus every day in every way. White is the symbol of purity and only the blood of Jesus purifies our sins. When we get to heaven we will all be white and ruddy as pure as gold.
#What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? Song of Solomon 5:9
The daughters of Jerusalem question the Shulamite wife as being the most beautiful among women and why she would charge them about another beloved? Solomon is the wisest man to ever live and he had a great choice in wives. The Shulamite wife was chosen by him because she is the most beautiful of his wives and so she is jealous other women are trying to steal her beloved. It is important to build strong relationships in marriage so that jealousy will not be a problem. Love believes all things, endures all things, and love never fails. So when the marriage is based on love it will stand through the storms of life. It is my prayer that marriages that are in trouble will rekindle the love so that the relationship will be till death do us part.
#I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick of love. Song of Solomon 5:8
The Shulamite wife is looking for her beloved husband Solomon and she charges the daughters of Jerusalem if they find him that I am sick of love. This is the kind of love Titus taught the older women to teach the younger wives how to love their husbands. Love is as cruel as the grave and we can love so much that we become sick unto death. Jesus said no greater love can we have than to lay down our lives for our friends. Jesus demonstrated that on the cross and told us we too must bear our own cross. May God fill us with the love of Christ so that we will love our spouses as Christ loves the Church.
#The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. Song of Solomon 5:7
These watchmen are the false prophets that devour the flock of God as Jesus told us to beware of false prophets and you will know the tree by the fruit that it bears. As we are not to judge but we are called to be fruit inspectors. Paul warned us in I Cor. 11 that Satan has ministers that parade around as angels of light. Jude warned us that these are wandering stars clouds without rain. As true ministers of Christ, we are to watch over the flock of God. Yes, Jesus asked Peter lovest thou me more than these? Peter replied yes Lord. Then Jesus said feed my lambs. Peter answered Lord thou knowest all things. Jesus wanted Peter to answer with agape love and not the Pheleo that he responded with. Then Jesus told Peter to feed my sheep for when you are old they will take you where you will not want to go. Jesus told us that if we are to be His disciples we must deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We must watch over the flock of God pouring out ourselves as a drink offering. When we come to the end of our ministry we should be able to say I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith. Now there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which God the righteous Judge will give to me, as well as all those who will love His appearing.
#I opened to my beloved but my beloved had withdrawn himself and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. Song of Solomon 5:6
The Shulamite wife sought out Solomon, her beloved husband but he had withdrawn himself and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: So I sought him but could not find him. It appears Solomon is using tuff love to test his wife's love for him. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and the mind wonders what is my beloved doing? It is good in marriage to come apart for a while to get close to the Lord. This should only be done for a season then you should come together again less ye become tempted. I am apart from my beloved and it has almost been five years. I am calling out to the Lord to restore marital romance so that we can dance again as friends. I can understand how the Shulamite wife is sick of love and tells the daughters of Jerusalem to look out for him. The foundation of the Lord stands secure, let all those that name the Lord Jesus Christ depart from iniquity. If you see a brother or a sister caught in a sin, ye that are spiritual should restore such a one considering yourself less ye also should be tempted. This is how the body of Christ is strengthened in the faith.
#I rose up to open to my beloved and my hands dropped with myrrh and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. Song of Solomon 5:5
A shout out to Britta Merwin for leaving us may the Lord bless your family on your new venture and we too are reminded of the Lord Jesus was given Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh which were gifts worthy for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Let us love one another because when we all get to heaven there will not be anymore saying goodbyes, for we will forever be in heaven with our Lord and Savior. So let us rejoice with our Christian family as the Lord transitions us for our ultimate move in our heavenly home.
#My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door and my bowels were moved for him. Song of Solomon 5:4
This is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ at the door of the Church knocking and the Bride of Christ longing for Him to come and take us away to heaven. We are moved in our bowels longing for the coming of the Lord. Blessed are those that when He comes will be found faithful serving his household when he comes. I pray that marriages can be restored and families can be united by the truth. All those suffering from mental illness will have all their anxieties done away with and the pandemic will be over. Forever we will go into the kingdom to celebrate the honeymoon with the Lord Jesus Christ.
#I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? Song of Solomon 5:3
This is a picture of the Christian life when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior our sins are washed away in the blood of the Lamb and if any man is in Christ Jesus he is a new creation, old things are passed away all things have become new. When Jesus washed the disciples' feet in the upper room, Peter said wash me not. but Jesus said if I wash you not ye have no part of Me. Then Peter said wash me all over, then Jesus said he that is washed only needs his feet washed. The meaning of this is there is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus walk not after the flesh but according to the Spirit. When Jesus is in you then the Holy Spirit keeps you from being defiled. That is why we are told to grieve not the Spirit whereby we are sealed unto the day of salvation. When we come to Christ it is as though we put off the old coat of sin and put on the robe of righteousness in Christ Jesus. Paul in Romans 6 said shall ye that are baptized into Jesus sin again? God forbids that since we have died to sin the old man is dead and the new man is awake to live by grace.
#I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew and my locks with the drops of the night. Song of Solomon 5:2
The Shulamite wife is sleep, but her heart is awakened by her beloved Solomon knocking on the door. This is a picture of the Lord Jesus knocking on the door of our heart to come in and sup with us the Church undefiled without spot or blemish. The marital bed must be undefiled and we must live in holiness before our Lord Jesus Christ for without holiness no man will see the Lord. It is so sweet to be in love with the Lord waiting for His appearance to take us away to our heavenly home. We must wash our garments in the blood of the Lamb and walk in the righteousness of Christ. We are like that Shulamite wife waiting and working in the vineyard until the Lord of the harvest takes us away. So let us be vigilant for the devil is a roaring lion going about seeking whom he may devour. We must put on the whole armor of Christ so that we can stand against all the wiles of the devil. I must work in the vineyard while it is the day before the night comes and no man can work.
#I have come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. Song of Solomon 5:1
This is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ coming to the Garden of Gethsemane to purchase our salvation with myrrh the spice that we too must eat to be his disciples. Honeycomb with my honey is a picture of the marriage relationship with the Bride of Christ. Marriage is great when we can drink wine with our honey and drink milk, as well as eat with our friends. Happy Memorial Day and let us remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefields.
