Song of Salomon 5

The bride was asleep in her bed when the groom came to her door (2-5). This passage reminds me of Jesus' parable of the 10 virgins. While they waited they all fell asleep. Some where ready for when they would be awakened and the others where not. The bride of Salomon neither expected her groom nor was she ready in case he did arrive. Because of her negligence she missed one opportunity. Graciously, God will provide another opportunity while we remain in this life. But the day is coming when we will have exhausted all our second chances. It that day not matter how hard we pursue him God's grace will be out of reach.
I needed about 4 minutes to read this chapter.
