What are you searching for? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Song of Solomon 3:1-5 to explore the universal human longing for safety, security, and love. Through the lens of a woman's desperate nighttime search for her beloved, we uncover three profound truths about our spiritual journey.We begin with the story of the thief on the cross from Luke 23:39-43, setting the stage for understanding how God meets us in our most desperate moments. Then we explore what we're truly searching for - that deep desire for safety that drives us to seek security in all the wrong places. From the safest place (our bed) to our most vulnerable moments (our dreams), we examine why separation from God creates such profound anxiety in our hearts.Discover how the fear of separation drives us to search frantically in the wrong places, and learn where true safety can actually be found. Just as the woman in Song of Solomon found her beloved "scarcely" past the watchmen, we'll see how Jesus is closer than we think - even in our darkest nightmares.This episode challenges listeners to stop searching for safety in the wrong places and instead find their security in the One who entered our nightmare to end our separation forever. Through the cross, Jesus promises that our spiritual nightmare is over - we'll never be truly unsafe or alone again.Key Takeaway: Repent from searching for safety in the wrong places. Face your separation and find Jesus in the scarcity.amenpodcast.com This is a public episode.
