Song of Solomon 6:2
 
     “My beloved has gone to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed his flock in the
​      gardens, and to gather lilies.”
 
The Shulamite has already confessed she doesn’t know where he is. She went hunting for him and couldn’t find him, yet she tells the congregation he has gone to work. Why does she keep this information from them? Perhaps so they will not outrun her and grab the goods before she can get to him. Some churches are very competitive. According to the Bible, the only race we run is against ourselves so that we will get better and better, becoming more and more His Masterpiece.
