"Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?"
Tell me where Thou feedest, O Thou whom my soul loveth - how deep the love of a soul for His Master; His desire is to be where Christ is. It is important to see the two messages here in this first half of this verse. The first, is 'where are you Lord?' You have to know where He is to find Him. I think the throne room of God is one of the most unknown truths found in Scripture as well as the heart and mind of christians today. I often encourage the two verses to provoke thoughts of the Lord. 1. 'Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith'; 2. 'We would see Jesus'. Both point us to Him. Where is He? He is on the right hand of the Father. Always sitting there, making intercession. except, in the book of Acts, where He stands and receives Stephen into His bosom. He will stand up for His saints when we appear before the throne of God. If that is where HE is, then why do Christians not go to the throne of God more often? There are several reasons for this. ONe, they don't know what it is. They have neve read their Bibles through and miss such teachings as what lies ahead for us as His people. In Revelations, there is a very descriptive picture painted for us of the throne room of God. I often go into great length to paint picture for saints so that they know the splendor and glory of God found there. Study this saints, there is much to glean from it.
'Tell me' - is the petition of a saint unto His Lord. Who else can instruct like Him? Who else can teach like Him? Who else can speak like Him? 'No man ever spake like this man' was the testimony of those who heard Him. And every child of God knows this truth. So then I would go to Him, Who has all knowledge, understanding and wisdom. I would be told by Him, Who cannot lie the truth of all things. 'Tell me' what You want me to do and to know of You and Your great work. What good does it do to go men and hear from them? All the great philosophers, the great teachers cannot compare to the great "I Am". Men that speak from their own knowledge profit nothing; but those that speak from anointed lips of the Holy Ghost speak words from Him. So when you say, 'tell me', who are you asking to hear from?
