A Getaway With Our King:
2010 Women's Retreat
by Miriam Nadler
|
 |
For the 10th
Annual Women’s retreat The Lover of My Soul, we
prepared Scripture studies using parallels from ancient Jewish wedding
customs. These offer striking similarities and a vivid picture of the
great mystery of being Yeshua's Bride. As women we may struggle to find
significance, security and fulfillment. |
|
However, as we
understood together our relationship to Messiah our Groom we discovered afresh that
as His Bride, we are seen, sought after and absolutely secure in His
love.
In the first message,
"A Match Made in Heaven," we learned how we are chosen to be Yeshua's
Bride by our Heavenly Matchmaker. Yeshua paid the bride price by His own
blood - how precious we are to Him! In the second message we discovered
how in the present betrothal period or Kiddushim, each day
matters for eternity. The culmination on Sunday morning was "The Song of
our Great King" found in Psalm 45. We may assume that it is all about
the bride, when it is actually about our Great King. His beauty and
grace commands our attention and devotion as we live in anticipation of
His return.
By the way, you can
listen to the messages online or
order a CD set to share the joy of growing in Him and His love for
you. A note from a first time attendee sums up how the Lord answered our
prayers.
"We’re back home and will never
forget the joyous weekend we shared with all of you from the Sisterhood
of Hope of Israel... Everything about the weekend was an unparalleled
experience in worship and praise to our Maker, our Husband! We will
forever be thankful for all that we learned from the studies and all we
witnessed amongst all our new sisters in Messiah. I am also sharing the
messages posted on the web with sisters of mine in my home community.
Our hearts are filled with fond memories that swell up in praise to our
King."
We hope to see you next year! |
