Tues.’ Devo - The Song of Songs

Read Song of Solomon 1-8
Song of Solomon is one of the most versitile book of the Bible.
It has been used to teach about marriage, God’s love for Israel and the love between Jesus and the Bride which is my favorite. Jesus’ love is better than wine and his name is as ointment poured forth. Our prayer is to be drawn into his chambers and experience His love. He says to us, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” Song of Solomon is a call to intimacy with God and the bridegroom. Solomon was a picture of the bridegroom in all his beauty and splendor. Jesus is not coming for his bride as the suffering poor servant but as the decorated king. Somehow in our weakness we have ravished the heart of our bridegroom and he is overtaken with love for us. The bride will one day say that Jesus is altogether lovely and our beloved.
Lord, may we be ravished in your love today.
