Teething Love

UV 3617/10000. Teething Love Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which have come up from their washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them has lost her young. Song of Solomon 6 v 6 We would have heard of teething troubles but not teething love. The first time I heard and focused on this uni-verse was when prophetic prayer was being uttered about a sister in faith a few years ago. I realized the extent of love of the Lord for her and indeed, for each of us. He knows and loves and cares for every intimate part of our lives. He has formed us not only fearfully and wonderfully but He has transformed us with His unfathomable love, a glimpse of its depth we find in this uni-verse. A few years later that sister died in a tragic mishap and her frontal teeth were broken in it. That was a sign that though the Lord loved her and because the Lord loved her, the enemy had targeted her like a cunning fox tries to prey on a sheep loved by the Shepherd. The enemy, Jesus told us plainly in words and not in a parable, is a killer, robber and thief. He is always targeting the faithful. Our response to the agape love of God that counts the very teeth in our mouths is to walk in intimacy with the Spirit of God. Our response to the many threats we face from the enemy is to hide in the Lord, to cover ourselves with His promises that He would shield us. The more we yield to Him, the more the shield we obtain from faith to put out the burning arrows of false accusation, slander, physical injury, financial loss, ill health and so on. In these disease-prone times, we should personalize the promise , “By His stripes, --- (replace we with our names) are healed, we are preserved, we are blessed, we are surrounded by His love. The Lord is concerned even with the hygiene and health of our teeth, our most insignificant parts. His love is specific, personal, deep and amazing. Whatever we have experienced of His love this far, we are yet to plumb its depth, comprehend its all encompassing width, the length or the enduring nature of it. We need to soak in His love, immerse ourselves in it even as we go through tough times.
