Song of Solomon 2:8

The "Song of Songs" is a love letter from God, tucked within the Old Testament. Though it may seem shocking that God would share such an intimate love story with us, He knows it is what our doubting hearts need. So speak the Song aloud as you journey through this devotional. Allow God’s living Word to arouse your passion for Him and your awareness of His deep love for you.

If you are struggling with sadness, fear, despair, hopelessness or just a feeling of purposelessness or lack of vision, this 5-day reflection through the messages found in the book of Nehemiah will help you start a conversation with God and draw closer to Him through vulnerability and reflection.

Begin your journey through Song of Songs with clarity. On the first day, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapters of Song of Songs. It explains this collection of love poems and its celebration of love, commitment, beauty, and devotion. You will see how the book portrays the strength and value of love through poetic imagery. As you read, remember that Song of Songs is still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God’s Word in the language they understand best. This plan offers a clear starting point as you read Song of Songs.

If you’re struggling—emotionally, physically, relationally, or spiritually—or walking with someone who is, this seven-day study will be a balm to your weary soul. Looking at the lives of David, Hannah, Jeremiah, and other biblical lamenters, you will discover the power of God’s presence with you in your heartache. God speaks a better word and sings a louder song than the noise of your pain and suffering.
