Song of Solomon 5 and 6 speaks of the king and his bride being apart from one another. They do not feel complete without each other. Do you feel incomplete when you spend time away from the scriptures or worship? Do you long to be in the Lord’s presence?  He longs for you.

1 Timothy 5 gives instruction on how to deal well with a congregation, treating everyone with respect and purity. Families should take care of their women who have become widows. The writer continues to encourage the leader to be above reproach.
