"I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?"

We continue in this section of study on losing our fellowship and walk with the Lord. In the last verse, we see that she is in bed; the Lord comes knocking and calls unto His beloved. HEre is her response in verse 3:

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? word study, Great questions of the Bible; there are two questions in this verse; Now here is her beloved coming after she has already gone to bed (v.2). Now he comes, he has been out in the night for awhile in coming to her. so much so, that his head is filled with dew from being out in the night. What a cold, shallow response is found here. 'I have undressed and put my coat off for the night.' And even thought our Scripture says, 'how shall I put it on?' You can almost read of her unwillingness to get up and it should be reflected 'why should I put it on?' If she is in love, it matters not whether she has to get up and put her coat on to go to the door; you just do it. But her unwillingness shows us that she cares not.

Now note, He has traveled through the night to reach her. He has been out long enough in the night to have dew upon His head. HE has sacrificed and put forth galiant effort to reach His beloved. And only to get to the door and receive a crushing response of rejection. Oh, brethren, how often is it with us and Christ? He has come; He has labored; He has done all for our souls and yet when time comes for fellowship and intimacy, He receive a rejection from those that say 'I love the LOrd.'

Check the records, reveal the times spent during the day, into the night seasons that show time that has been spent between Christ and His people.
