“Look! My lover! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills” (S of S 2:8)

We have an agile God! Presently we should look and listen for Him. He’s not restricted by our problems or our efforts. He moves and roams in His own arena. Even to our thoughts and prayers, He is acting out-of-proportion: that’s where He moves!…”immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Eph 3:20).

As Peter’s stormy problems splashed up his legs while walking on the water with Jesus, he found he had a Savior who STILL intended on meeting him, problems and all, and wasn’t getting wet. Jesus would walk on top of them and would raise up Peter in faith to walk where He Himself was walking: over them.

Our efforts are merely overtaken by this great One who moves “like a gazelle or a young stag” (S of S 2:9), moving according to His own realm. “It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy” (Rom 9:16).

Like the takeoff of a plane on gray day and soon bursting through the thick cloud cover into that “celestial land” above. Immediately we are brought into a new setup where the sun always shines. There are no obstructions. There is freedom of movement.

Somewhere today His agility is being expressed. In some area of our life or another’s He will express His own free movement. Look for it. There, we will stop as the maiden and say “He…is leaping…and bounding.” There, the glory of His movements unfold to more in us. The One who moves as this is the One whom enraptures our soul. In adoration: “my Lover!” (vs 8).———-
