These 8 chapters, 117 verses, and 2661 words in the Hebrew Bible called Song of Solomon are the 5th of the Hebrew Wisdom Books called the MEGILLOTH. Each was read at one of the Jewish Feasts. Esther at Purim, Lamentations at unleavened bread; Ecclesiastes at Tabernacles; Song of Solomon at Passover, and Ruth at Pentecost!
God spoke, inspiring Solomon to record three books of the Bible. This was his first. Still young, asking the Lord for wisdom, he tells us of 1st love. Love is unforgettable and unforgotten. When he was young and full of life, Solomon wrote a Song about the beauty of 1st love. Love that transcends all others. Love that captivates and holds. It is a special treasure and one we must hold close. Never lose that first love. The Loveliness of Christ, His beauty is the treasure that we must never misplace in our hearts. We need to come back again and again to our first love!
Have you fallen in love with Jesus Christ? (Song of Solomon 1:2)
Have you ever seen how beautiful he is? (Song of Solomon 1:3-4)
Have you ever experienced His supply of love? [Song of Solomon 1:7]
Have you ever entered the service of His ownership? (Song of Solomon 1:9)
Have you begun to treasure His love? (Song of Solomon 1:12-14)
Have you found the provisions of His love? (Song of Solomon 2:3-4)
Have you pondered engagement to Christ? (Song of Solomon 3:6-5:1)
He longs to hear our voices even today. He loves to hear them raised in songs of adoration and praise. He loves to hear our words of worship. But what can we possibly say to Him, to Him whose word can create stars and suns?
