The DANCE

We seek after God because He is seeking us. He has said in His Word if we seek Him with all our heart that we will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). But it is a battle, which the patriarch, Jacob, found out. It was at Mahanaim that He encountered the angels of God. Mahanaim means two armies or camps, Jacob's and God's. King Solomon, in his Song of Songs, chapter 6, uses that name, Mahanaim, when describing the rapture of the Shulamite. As we seek the living God in our lives here on earth, there are battles, with ourselves and with God. But when we battle to find Him, He always sees that we win (see Genesis 32:24-30). If we truly seek Him, our lives are rather like "a dance between two armies" (Song of Solomon 6:13). These verses of Elsie Lewis Eastman express some of the fruits of The Dance. May they prove to be both helpful and a blessing to those who read them.
