Protected Until Ready

Hi Fam, it's a new day and a beautiful Sunday in my time zone. I get to go to the Lord's house to worship freely, this is a testimony all by itself (which one day I will share).
In this time we get to rest and reflect on God's goodness. He has prepared a beautiful breakfast for us, which will last us practically the whole day.
Before we dive in let's give thanks:
Father thank you for today's bread and the sumptious table you've laid for us. Let it nourish us and give us peace. We receive your love, Amen.
Let's eat:
Song of Songs 8:8-9 (NLT)
The Young Woman's Brothers
8 We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her?
9 If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar. Amen.
This scripture applies to so many aspects of life, relationships, business, new projects and many more.
I pray the Holy Spirit gives you peace in how this applies to you and teaches you the steps to take.
I want us to pay attention to some phrases:
1. Too young to have breasts-
This means she's not yet fully developed, like a young fruit not mature or even ripe yet. It also points to financial stability to feed or to give.
Being developed to pour into those you are called to, the children the Lord will honour you with. Plus also points to a growing stage.
2. Two personalities are seen here, the virgin and the promiscuous:
It's isn't what you are thinking this points to one who is reserved and focused whiles the other is curious and wants to try every new thing. They are each protected differently.
Example, you hear stories of an opportunity which just came for a person but the door was shut and they couldn't access. Sometimes it's God's protection and redirection to the right open door.
Another example is rejection in relationships, don't take it us there is something wrong with you, it is protection against future drama and disloyalty.
Final example is a single lady who has not yet been approached by a suitor yet but has done the work.
I want to encourage you that it takes a special kind of person to ask you out. Your brothers, the angels God has assigned to protect you won't let any weird unapproved person approach.
But at the appointed time you'll meet someone wonderful. It doesn't mean all of a sudden if someone approaches you it is from God.
Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment. Never walk in desperation or pressure or forced, he won't force anything on you.
If you're ready in your heart to meet someone, God knows, and He will teach you how to create space in your heart to welcome that special person who is also His son.
I hope this brings peace and clarity to you.
Let's pray:
Father we love you, we thank you for your protection and teaching. I ask that you speak directly to each persons situation. I speak healing, breakthroughs, warmth and love in Jesus Name, Amen.
If you want to have a personal relationship with Jesus who is our first love, say with me:
Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.
You are special to God and He loves you.
