"Overpowered!"

"Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick with love." (S.O.S. 2:5)

  Be real, is one way to think of this, as weird as that might sound; it is more than just a request, it is a great desire of the inner heart of every believer: not that Christ be real, but that this thing we know and long for to happen within us be real, because it sometimes makes us sick with love, the kind of love sick you feel when you cannot be with the one you love; and if you are going to be, you are torn by insecurity and wanting.
  I know that might be mouthful of stuff to think about, but this is the mystery of our faith, the long and the short of it! The previous moments of triumph don't seem to last long enough, and the trials and testings never seem to be gone soon enough; but regardless of where we are at, His love remains the same. The problem that causes us this mysterious sickness, as strange as it might sound, is that we cannot bottle it up and contain it!
  To put this is a little better way of understanding, the "flagons" which are spoken of, are unusual things used as offerings to idols. As I read the description, the image that comes to mind is Fig Newtons, but instead of figs, they are made with grapes. The "apples" spoken of are that same word which was used for "apples trees" in verse 3; which, for the purpose of this verse, instead of the fruit, it refers more to the scent, much like that of a citrus trees.
  Long story short, as much as we try, or as hard as we might want, we cannot make the mysterious power our own: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit," saith the LORD...

"For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone. Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! For who can know the LORD'S thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back? For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory and power to him! Amen." (Romans 11:32-36) NLT
