The Savour Of Jesus’ Name Song of Songs 1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. When we talk about the Lord Jesus Christ, when we fellowship together in His name, it is like a perfume or ointment going forth wherever we go. It is the smell of the burnt offering, wellpleasing to the Father, and we carry that savour everywhere we go. Those around us can tell we have been with Jesus! See Ephesians 5:2; 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 and Acts 4:12-13. Song of Songs 1:12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. Notice the spikenard is the woman’s. Mary of Bethany poured HER spikenard on the Saviour, the King, then the smell filled the house. She did this in preparation for Jesus’s death: John 12:1-3, 7 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but...

Draw Near To God Song of Songs 1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee . The above verse is a prayer or desire of the believer desiring to fellowship with her Lord. I love how the Word of God uses the idea of God drawing us to Himself. Firstly, through His death on the cross and the preaching of the Gospel: John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 3:14; 12:32 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:… And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. And then seen through the Lord working in our lives: The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. It is God’s love and lovingkindness by which He ...

  True Worship Many people in our day call attending a church service or listening to some music (for example, a Christian rock concert) as worshipping the Lord (ie. a worship service, praise and worship). While we certainly can worship the Lord through our singing (ie. praising Him and giving Him glory through song - of course, through God-honouring music!), but worship is not primarily that or limited to that. Many can go through the motions; and getting some feeling (or emotional high) through the music is not worship. Basic definitions of worship , based on the words used in the Bible: to bow down or prostrate onself in humble submission/homage; glorifying the Lord through praise, prayer, and song; to serve; to kiss or adore; to revere (to have Godly fear of the Lord); to be pious towards (ie. devoted to). Way Of Life Encyclopedia gives this definition: "To bow down; to honor; to exalt; to pay homage; to reverence." The word worship basically means to give worth to somet...

Paved With Love Song of Songs 3:7-10 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. The whole Song Of Solomon is a love song about fellowship between Solomon and his espoused (ie. engaged) bride. Solomon is a type or picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the espoused bride represents the believer who has placed their faith in Him. Every aspect of this song pictures our relationship and fellowship with the Lord from the moment of coming to Jesus for salvation, and ending with us eagerly awaiting His return to take His bride to the wedding feast and to the mansions He has prepared for her. The be...
