Sitting in His Presence
“I sat down under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and His banner over me was love” (Song of Solomon 2:3-4).
This is the bride speaking of the joy and delight of sitting in the presence of her bridegroom, enjoying what He had for her, and basking in the sunshine of His great love.
This of course typifies the Lord Jesus as the bridegroom and we as His bride. It is a wonderful thing to sit down in His presence and to be occupied with His person and work. Earlier, the bride had declared, “While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof” (1:12). In other words, as she was at His table, occupied with Himself, there was worship.
The invitation to sit down in His presence is still given to every true believer. He says, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Before He went to the cross we read, “And when the hour was come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him” (Luke 22:14). He still delights to sit down in the midst of His own. Will you be at His table to remember and worship Him today?
