Today is the first day of the Hebrew month Elul. The four Hebrew letters of the month’s name are an acronym from the verse in Song of Solomon 6:3. “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”

Elul is also known as a time when “The King is in the field”, meaning this is a special season He is closer to you in proximity, a period of divine closeness and connection.

I pray your heart is awakened to recognize the King; that you would fully embrace Him and grow deeper in your relationship. May your Oneness with the Lord increase in this month of Elul as you draw closer to Him. I encourage you to return to your first love, go away with Him in the field, see Him face to face. He’s looking forward to His encounter with you!
