Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful love story between the Shulamite woman and the Shepherd-King of Israel. Thank You for showing me the importance of keeping my first love alive while watching expectantly and excitedly for His soon return. Thank You that there has always been a little remnant of believers who, down through centuries of time, have trusted Your Word and remained faithful to the truth of the glorious gospel of God. I praise Your name that I am positioned in Christ and protected by His love. Thank You that Your promises to Israel remain faithful and true and that He will one day spread His banner of love over them, when they recognise Him as their Shepherd-King, their God, and their Saviour. I offer these prayers in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, my Shepherd and Saviour, AMEN.
