In times of crisis and panic (whether real or manufactured), people are usually preoccupied with mere worldly preparation (food, water, cleaning supplies, fuel, and bank accounts). It is indeed wise to be prepared as much as possible (for example, Joseph used the 7 years of plenty to prepare for the 7 years of famine). But an even greater concern is that we as Christians prepare ourselves spiritually so that we are not overcome by the fear and hysteria of the world over this coronavirus. Should not we who believe in a sovereign Lord and gracious Savior who has mercifully rescued us from the greatest and most destructive death (eternal death in hell) believe that He will provide for all our needs as He has promised?
Our need in times of such emergency is not only to see how great the crisis is, but more importantly, how great our Savior is. And for that reason, returning to our study of the Song of Solomon is perhaps most relevant at such a time as this. For we return to hear the bride exalt and describe the glory and greatness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Who He is and what He has done strengthens our faith and subdues our fears (Hebrews 13:5-6). Let us behold in the words of the bride the unexcelled glory and beauty of Jesus Christ as we consider two more attributes of our Lord: (1) His Cheeks (Song 5:13); (2) His Lips (Song 5:13).
