All right, good evening and welcome to our midweek Bible study on Thursday nights. We're going through the Bible,

book by book and chapter by chapter, verse by verse. And we are currently in the book of the Song of Solomon. And tonight,

Lord willing, we will complete chapter three. We left off last week in chapter two. So we'll invite you there online to turn there at this time.

And while you're doing that, just a reminder that we have launched phase 1 of our new website at JDFarag.org.

I want to encourage you if you haven't already to check it out. You can subscribe as well. For those of you that have subscribed,

you have not yet received a notification because we have not yet sent out a notification. So we appreciate

your patience with us on that. It is coming soon. And we also covet your prayers as well for this site. Excited to see

what God's going to do with this new site. It is a great opportunity. And so thank you for

your patience and your prayers. Okay, Song of Solomon chapter three. Why don't we pray before we get started? We'll just ask God

to bless our Bible study tonight. So glad that you're here tonight on a Thursday night. I trust

that you'll be blessed that you've come tonight for this study and this very interesting and

fascinating book. And so let's pray.

Father in heaven, thank you so much for your word and this book that we have here in your

word. It's here for a reason. And so Lord, we're already seeing so much here. And that's because the Holy Spirit has opened up the eyes

of our understanding to that which you desire to show us in this book. All scripture is given

for a reason. Sometimes it's for our rebuke and instruction and encouragement and really all of the above and such is the

case with what we have before us tonight. So Lord, as we study now, we want to hear you speak

into our lives, in and through your word, and we want to commit to you our time together in your word.

So Lord, bless our time we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. And amen. All right. So here in chapter

three, we see a lovesick bride. This is from last week, by her own admission, actually.

She says of herself that she was lovesick so in love with her bridegroom, her lover,

that it was having this impact on her in every area of her life.
