It is hoped that you have read the miracle of how the devotional came about and how our wonderful God used the weak things so that He could receive all the glory! That is found in the box online at the website under “the devotional miracle”.

It all began in 1991, never imagining a book was intended by the Lord! Twelve years later in 2003 the Lord lovingly played another "trick" again on me. The thought came that a website would be a "convenience" so that people who had been emailing from other states to get a copy could really see if this kind of devotional was what they truly desired. This way we would not send a copy to someone who, when they received it, realized this was not what they really wanted. We are only two people whom God has chosen for facilitating this devotional ministry. So a website was created and simply left out there in cyber space.

So what is this second miracle? We simply had a website. Nothing was done to advertise it in anyway. No one had it as a link. As was said before, it was only a convenience. Then came the spiritual shock, six months later, looking to see what was new in commentaries on the Song, "Song of Solomon Commentary" was typed in to a Yahoo Search. What was seen caused many tears to flow. The devotional was #5 in the whole world out of about 500,000 possibilities at the time. Only the Lord could do that. It takes finances to get a website up in the top #20 through companies that deal with such things. Nothing was humanly done to accomplish it. Our Heavenly Bridegroom did it all!

It is now #1 in a Yahoo search when "Song of Solomon Commentary" is put in. In other search engines you can put in "Song of Solomon devotional" and it is at or near the top of the first 10. Our Heavenly Bridegroom wanted a greater distribution and knew He alone was the One to do it. And, as a result, He alone would received all the glory since man had nothing to do with it.

Now you know the rest of the story from two very humbled believers in the body of Christ. We are the most unlikeliest people to have been used by our precious Lord. Our Bridegroom knew that He would get all the glory - no person or organization would ever be lifted up. It has been that way through all these years.

That is why Jude 1:25 and Psalm 23:3 are the banner verses over this ministry. Everything is for His Name's Sake Alone! We desire only that His name be glorified.

The Lord clearly spoke to us that we were to never sell it, and that has been lovingly obeyed since it began to be given away in 1991 until now. There was never to be a copyright. It has been downloaded over and over again all over the world where individuals can print it up for themselves or distribute to others.

In His love and for His praise alone,
Esher Shoshannah
