I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. Come my beloved, let us go forth to the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. Song of Solomon 7:10-12
The basic interpretation of the Song of Solomon is that this a young Shulamite girl that Solomon has fallen deeply in love with. And she is in love with him. And he addresses himself to her declaring his love and declaring her beauty, and she is responding to him. The Song of Solomon has suffered strained interpretations over the centuries by those who use the “allegorical” method of interpretation, claiming that the song has no actual historical basis, but rather depicts God’s love for Israel and / or Christ’s love for the church. A more satisfying way to approach Solmon’s Song is to take it at face value and interpret it in the normal historical sense, understanding the frequent use of poetry image to depict reality. The Song of Solomon expands on the ancient marriage instructions of Genesis: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (2:24) Thus providing spiritual provision for a lifetime of marital harmony. It is given to us by God to demonstrate His intention for the romance and loveliness of marriage, the most precious of human relations and called it the “the grace of life.” (1 Peter 3:7)
I am my beloved’s and his desire is toward me—Now think of this in the church, the body of Christ, and of Jesus Christ’ sacrifice for us, and it becomes beautiful indeed. He loves me! I am my beloved’s and His desire is toward me. Christ desires you. Your love, your response to Him in love. The Bible makes it very clear In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.(1 John 4:9-10) Why do Christians love? To follow the supreme example of God’s sacrificial love in sending His Son for us. Now in my opinion, the love of a husband toward his wife is one of the greatest ways we can demonstrate this type of love. Oh I know the courting and getting to know one another is very important as well. But it is the love of a husband toward his bride that the Song of Solomon was written for us. I feel that God views it that strongly, than so should we. The marital relationship was established as the first human institution. The responsibilty to honor one’s parents (Exodus 20:12) does not cease with leaving to become the union of husband and wife. But does represent the beginning of a new and now primary responsibility, “joined”carries the sense of a permanent or indissoluble union, so that divorce was not considered. “One flesh”speaks of a complete unity of two different parts making now a whole. For example, one cluster of grapes (Numbers 13:23) or One God in Three Persons (Deuteronomy 6:4).
Jesus explains it to us in the New Testament, in Matthew as the Pharisee’s were testing Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And He answered them. “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therfore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” ( Matthew 19:3-6) Very powerful statement by Jesus as to what our marriages should be about. The edification of love for each other that honors and glorifies God who created it.
Beloved friend, Today is Valentine’s day! We know people are thinking about their sweetheart’s love for them, and in kind, sharing their love for them. Let us honor God in our love for each other. Let us remember the cost of His love for us. He gave His all that we may become His Valentine forever! And has shown it through His everlasting love for us! The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”(Jeremiah 31:3)
May the Lord bless your walk!
Dedicated To my beloved wife, J.L.T., the love of my heart! Everlasting! Happy Valentine’s Day!
