Evening — June 21 — Song of Solomon 5:6

Christ Himself - A Daily Devotional · Jun 21, 2026 · 8m

I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer. — Song of Solomon 5:6

The bride sought her beloved and found only silence, just as Israel's sin made God seem distant. Unaddressed sin blocks the felt presence of the Lord, yet His arm remains long enough to save and His ear open to hear. The barrier comes from cherishing iniquity in the heart. A cleared conscience gives confidence to draw near.
