Here’s where we are in the central movement of the Song. The Queen is betrothed to the King. He has come for her to complete the marriage process in a grand marriage procession. Arguably twice she has left him hanging at the altar—in an ancient Mideastern context. She wasn’t ready when he came for her. Something is wrong. Now the wedding celebration has at last begun. He has toasted her with an amazing worship poem, a wasfs—in front of all of the esteem guests in the land and told her that she is so, so beautiful in his eyes. She is beginning to believe it—but in moments, her past mistakes, her dark secrets are going to be publicly exposed which could lead to immediate divorce, immense public shame for her and her family and maybe even her death. 

Now what? And what difference does it make in my life, your life today? We’ll see.
