Evening — June 21 — Song of Solomon 5:6

I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer. — Song of Solomon 5:6The bride in Song of Songs sought her beloved and couldn't find him. Sometimes you seek the Lord and He seems silent. When Israel sinned with Achan's gold, the Lord said, "I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things" (Josh. 7:8-12). Your sins can separate you from the sense of His presence.
