Is that not what we need to know? How am I to truly follow after Jesus, seeking Him whom I love? Perhaps that is the key. Do I truly seek Him as the one whom I love above all else? Do I search for Him, long for Him as the One whom I love above all else? He who is perfect love Himself, do I seek His presence above all else? Do I see Him as my Beloved? Let’s look again at the Song of Songs, with some excerpts from Charles Hadden Spurgeon’s sermons as he so desired to always remember that Jesus as “the one whom I love.
A Song of Songs to My Beloved King of Kings
A Song of Songs to My Beloved King of Kings
A Song of Songs to Thee I sing
My Lord of Lord, the King of Kings
Oh Lord I long to see Thy face
Thine eyes of love, Thy lips of Grace
Whom else on earth have I but thee
To lift my heart with songs of glee
Oh, Lord I know this feeble heart
At times does stray, from thee depart
To seek another’s love as mine
Or search for treasures rich and fine
When storm clouds hide thy lovely face
The pains and sorrows I embrace
Forgetting all thou art and BE
Lord open please my eyes to see
Thy Glory Lord surrounding me
Remind me Lord one day I will be
Your lovely bride eternally
Thy Joy and Love run after me
To break these chains and set me free
That I might be forever thine
Abiding in the one true vine
So, now beloved please hold me tight
Thy warm sweet breath be my delight
Do not allow me drift from thee
Until my eyes can only see
That I am thine and thou art mine
Our hearts forever then entwine
As here I bow with tear stained face
Enraptured by Amazing Grace
All else this earth could offer me
Is nothing Lord compared to Thee
Concluding thoughts
Oh how I long to see Him face to face. For now I see glimpses of His perfect love for me, His wonder, majesty and grace. Until He calls me home let me always sing.

How to Really Know the Truest Love of All
I daresay deep within each human heart is an overwhelming desire to be Loved. The ability and the desire to love were given to us by our creator, although its power over us can be so mysterious at times. The depth of our ability to love another, desiring their continuous presence. Wanting to know everything we can about our beloved. Never satisfied from our insatiable desire of even just sitting in their presence. Proclaiming to everyone we meet of how wonderful our beloved truly is. Yet, in all that, did you ever consider this is but a glimpse of what it is to really know the truest love of all? A tiny glimpse at best to experiencing the truest love of all! Our human love, at its absolute best is minuscule compared to the love we can really know with Jesus, our dear Lord.
However, what a magnificent God to have created us in such a manner that we might know and experience love here upon this earth. A foreshadowing, however dimmed it might be, of what it is to know and feel His love above all else. We tend to believe that love is the ultimate of feelings which can cause our hearts to soar above all of life’s trials, if only for our beloved. But have you ever considered what it truly is to experience fully the truest love of all? That is the love God calls us to. He wants us to love Him with all our hearts, our strength, our minds, and souls; because, He knows therein we will experience the sweetest, most exuberant joy we could ever know.
Hence why He would include this love song in the Bible describing the truest love of all in a story we can comprehend.

How to Overcome the Futility of Human Wisdom?
As we move toward the closing two chapters of Proverbs, we find a clear contrast between the futility of human wisdom and the honor God’s grace gives. For it is His grace alone that covers a multitude of sin and only He can fill a human heart and mind with true wisdom. Just as He gave King Solomon wisdom, He promises to give wisdom to all who ask earnestly. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, (James 1:5).
As we begun to look at Proverbs, a question arises. Who is Agur, son of Jaketh. There are many varying ideas. Some believe him a descendent of Ishmael. Others think he is a foreign sage, while notations in other Bible commentaries believe he was a person close to Solomon who gathered the information for Solomon. Yet, perhaps the one I lean most toward is that indeed it was pseudonym (fictious name used by Solomon to hide his identity as the writer). If so, this would read, “he who first gathered words together, the one who spat out the words of God”. Then proclaiming, “I am weary, O God, I am weary and faint”.
After all was it not Solomon who grew too comfortable in himself? He believed he could defy the very wisdom God had given him to proclaim. Marrying many wives, living a life or indulgence, and thought he would not be drawn away to idolatry. Yet alas he was. How befitting it would be King Solomon under the disguise of a pseudonym would write this chapter.

God Makes My Way Perfect. How?
We live in such a time of uncertainty. Financially, politically, and even personally the chaos seems overwhelming. There amid all the chaos that is our life, there is a voice that cries out to us. Amongst all the sounds of sorrows, fears, and pains, there is a voice calling out to us. “God is my strength and power… He makes my way perfect (2 Samuel 22:33).
Not just ok or better but perfect.
This was a song King David sung after having been in places of great trials, running for his life, waiting on God’s promise to him. You see God had pronounced and declared him to be next King of the nation of Israel. Yet, King Saul was in pursuit of David, desiring to kill him. With all the power and force of the nation’s armies, how could David survive? Furthermore, how was it that David could say, “God makes my way perfect.” Or how did he later write in Psalms 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.”
Does that mean everything will be perfectly easy in my life? Absolutely not, but it does mean, “all things work together for good, to those who love God to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28).
All things? Even the trials, pains, and sufferings? Why? Because those all things are used by His Hand of Mercy and thereby God Makes my way perfect as He is continuing His work of perfecting me, transforming me into the image of Jesus Christ.
