Draw me! We will run after you! The king brings me into his apartments! We will be glad and rejoice in you! We will recall [when we were favoured with] your love, more fragrant than wine. The upright [are not offended at your choice, but sincerely] love you.

Song of Solomon 1:4 - The Amplified Bible

In that verse above you are hearing the calling of the voices of the daughters of Jerusalem. Does how you feel about God match up to that expression of desire? Is your love relationship with Him anything like that? Look to God and yearn for His love that is more fragrant than wine! As you do, you will want to sing with a voice of excited praise. You will want to partake of the wine of His Spirit. Isaiah 55:1.

Catch a zeal to be in the Father's presence, a zeal like those daughters of Jerusalem had. Joining your voice to that of the Psalmist's voice is one way of doing that. Find a devotional psalm and speak it aloud to the Lord. This can stir up your zeal for being in the Lord's presence. We all need an excited eagerness to get into God's presence. Let your eagerness to spend time in the Lord's presence be like that of the soldier who runs up the path of his fiancee's house when he returns from a long tour of duty. In His presence you will find refreshing, restoration, new strength and peace.

Stir up your zeal for your relationship with God! In the Book of Revelation God's Spirit calls for us to get back to a relationship of intense love for our Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit calls you to an the excited relationship with the One who must be our first love. Delight yourself in the Lord. Be excited to greet Him. Press up to His throne. Rev.2:4-5.

Let's be excited again in our love for God!
