Top 10 Old Testament Prayers #1: Song of Songs 1:2-4. OK, OK… so this is on nobody's Top 5, or 10, or even 50 list. It should be. I hope that I will convince you of how powerful, relevant, and personal this proclamation of the bride of Christ’s desire for her groom. I know, it is likely not what you heard about the Song of Songs. Let me change your mind. Enjoy. It truly deserves to be #1. Next time, we get into my new avant-garde series, Vagabond Diaries. Something new, fun, and different. I can’t wait to get your feedback.  You'll see what I mean.

This prayer has been so poorly understood and translated so badly, that it is no wonder that it has been largely overlooked. It is perhaps the greatest prayer of faith by someone who has been subjected to arguably the greatest injust in the history of the world, at least before the Cross. What difference does a God-born faith actually mean to someone who has lost it all? What does Heaven sourced faith feel like to beat-up, abused people? Here it is. Let me know what you think. Should it be #2?  You'll see what I mean. Love feedback, Bill@gospel-app.com. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, LIKE or FOLLOW.

Teaser: Vagabond Diaries I am taking a short one week break in my summer series, Top 10 prayers of the Old Testament to give you a teaser for my new Gospel Rant Series beginning on Sept 15. It is called Vagabond Diaries. Each week, I will tell a story, a tale, a colorful account of some Biblical character or principle, but not done in the usual way—line by line, precept by precept. No, this will be more like a storyteller, more Chronicles of Narnia-esque—you get the idea. Why? I am passionate about proclaiming the love of God for the unlovable, the unloved, and the unlovely anyway I can. Let me know how we do.  In this first Vagabond Diary, meet Veronica. Enjoy!

This prayer has been often labeled the black psalm. You will see why. It ends, “Darkness is my closest friend,” clearly a slap in the face of the God who loves the unlovable. Can we really say such things to God? Isn’t that a sin? Yes and yes. But such imprecatory psalms have been given to us because they most effectively give us our heart’s real unvarnished words—not careful, theologically accurate and whitewashed words. In this groaning creation, we are going to need such prayers. I just call this my psalm.  You'll see what I mean.
