@Livingwater Study 4B ..under His shade (concluding part) We stopped at number 3 yesterday ,this is the concluding part. To sit under his shadow is to have Him as supplier....memory verse still constant Song of Solomon 2 :3-4. 4 . IN CHRIST WE HAVE BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY We learn this from the words in verse 3: ““His fruit is sweet to my taste.”” The reference is to the fruit of the tree under which the bride was sitting with her lover. She found complete sufficiency and absolute satisfaction in his gracious provision for her. What is this sweet satisfying fruit that we, as Christians, experience and that is only ours because of our union with the Lord Jesus? It is mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23. We cannot produce this fruit; it is “”the fruit of the Holy Spirit, the work which His presence within accomplishes”” (Amplified Bible) –- look up and compare Hosea 14:8 (last phrase). How satisfying His fruit is! – – “His fruit is sweet to my taste””! ” 5 . IN CHRIST WE HAVE PERSONAL GUI

Study 4 A. The bride speaks of her estimate of her loved one and tells us what she possesses in him. She describes him (in verses 3,8,9,10,16) as her “”lover””, and she concludes by saying, ““My lover is mine, and I am His....sitting in His shade.....

@Livingwater Study 4 SITTING DOWN IN HIS SHADE. (Part A) THE SONG OF SOLOMON Key-verses: ““I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love”” (Song of Songs 2:3-4) The Song of Songs set forth in tender symbolism the love of Christ for the Church (His Bride); and the love of the Bride (His Church), for Christ (the Bridegroom). In this small section of scripture the bride is speaking about her bridegroom, and in what she says we have a glimpse of the sufficiency of our Lord. The bride speaks of her estimate of her loved one and tells us what she possesses in him. She describes him (in verses 3,8,9,10,16) as her “”lover””, and she concludes by saying, ““My lover is mine, and I am his.”” It is exactly like this with the Lord and His people. We are married to Christ (Romans 7:3-4). How rich and how blessed we are! –- look up Romans 8:16-17; Ephesians 1:3 and 1:11; Colossians 2:9-10. Do you wonder t
