Song of Solomon 2:1
“I am the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the valleys.”
Rose of Sharon is the coastal plain south of Mount Carmel. Christ is compared as Rose of Sharon. Christ has the beauty all around Him. When we smell the rose like a sweet perfume, it relax our bodies and our spirits. So is having a sweet fellowship with Christ relax us.
The lily flowers are special and small, hidden in the shadows of the valley. When we walk through the shadow of the valley, we seek for hidden lilies; they are the sweetest smell and beautiful flowers to look at. The Lord is compare to the Lily and is hidden in the shadow of the valley. We look for Him and behold He reveals Himself as we walk through the deep valley. Only in those deeper shadows can we know His complete loveliness. Let us behold Him then, and “fear no evil.”
Song: Sweet Jesus
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, What a wonder You are,
You’re brighter than the morning star;
You’re fairer, much fairer,
Than the lily that grows by the way-side,
Precious, more precious than gold…
You’re like the Rose of Sharon,
You’re the fairest of the fair;
You are all my heart could ever desire;
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, What a wonder You are,
You’re precious, more precious than gold….

Prayer: I thank You Heavenly Father that we find Jesus through our dark valleys. Sweet Jesus, we adore you, we worship you, we love You and hug You. I pray that You will be real to us people who are Deaf and we will come to know more about You as our personal Savior Jesus Christ, our Lord. Thank You, Father for the strength to continue to love You and Your Son and the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
