“Awake, O North Wind; and Come, Thou South; Blow Upon My Garden” – Song of Solomon 5:1

     The people of God are called the temple of God, the city of God, the garden of the Lord where the Lord dwells and walks among them.  Just as the Lord first put man in a garden and walked with him there, the Lord Jesus often resorted to a garden with His disciples, and here in Solomon’s Song of Christ and His church, the beloved people of Christ are called His garden.

     It is the heart’s cry and desire of every child of God that the Lord send His Holy Spirit, Who is the Wind or Breath of God, which blows from the North (Heaven)and south (in the earth below).  It is the prayer of every true child of God that the Holy Spirit of God will blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.  The spices, being the fruit of the Spirit, “Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Gal.5:22), which we see and admire in our Beloved, and makes Him so appealing to us, and makes us long to be filled with those same spices that we might be a sweet smelling savour of Christ to our God.   Call upon Him this day, that He would come and blow upon this garden, this church, this gathering, your own soul . . . that the glorious gospel perfume of Christ would fill this place and fill our hearts and lives.  Paul Mahan
