Song Of Solomon 3:1-5 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. 5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

Not in Outward Signs, But That Still Small Voice Amen dear Pastor. We are called to worship Him in spirit and truth. A brief warning: 2 Thess. 2:1-4 and Matt. 24:23-26 remind us one day many will seek a messiah and announce him in the wilderness or remote areas, until he arrives in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem as “god”. But these will all be false christs and antichrist, who place confidence in the flesh. Sadly many today look to vain images of what they think is Christ, often in their preferred ethnicity or race. They are easy prey to Satan’s devices for they seek one who “looks godly” or even beautiful. Recall God’s charge against Samuel for this same foolish thinking by presuming one of Jesse’s more handsome sons would be king. Yet it was small and ruddy David whom God chose: “man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.” (1 Sam. 16:7). So beware the devil appearing as an angel, even as his ministers (2 Cor. 11:14-15). I also agree during some church services we may not “feel” God’s presence. For me, I presumed strong sense of peace, joy or love were indicative God among His people. And while that may be some of the most obvious signs this side of heaven, I was reminded like Elijah, 1 Kings 19:11-13, it’s not in the fire, earthquake or whirlwind but that small whisper that God makes His presence known.
