Views from Shenir (Mount of Light) is a title that my dear husband lovingly suggested. The scripture given which is Song of Solomon 4:8 refers to a new thing that God is doing in these last days. It is to challenge our thinking to draw us from the old literal way of understanding the Word of God. Because to understand God, our minds must go beyond the natural, we must be able to think outside the box. The goal is to connect with us spiritually. Based on Deuteronomy 4:32, God does not want us to think small or to look at things just on the surface and narrowly. He wants us to have a complete view and to have a deeper understanding of things. Solomon 4:8 is an invitation to us to go to Zion, which cannot be moved (Psalms 125:1). In other words, God wants to bring us to a higher vantage point so that we can see from His stand point of from above and not from below. In Solomon 2:10, 17, God is inviting us to put to work this great mind that God has given us.

Much-Afraid had been in the service of the Chief Shepherd, whose great flocks were pastured down in the Valley of Humiliation. She lived with her friends and fellow workers Mercy and Peace in a tranquil little white cottage in the village of Much-Trembling. She loved her work and desired intensely to please the Chief Shepherd, but happy as she was in most ways, she was conscious of several things which hindered her in her work and caused her much secret distress and shame. Here is the allegorical tale of Much-Afraid, an every-woman searching for guidance from God to lead her to a higher place.
