Song of Solomon 7:1-13

Psalms 45:1-17 declares to the earthly Bride, "So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him." The Song of Solomon contains in some way the reply to this invitation. "I am my beloved’s," says the King’s companion (v.10). She is aware of the bonds which unite her with Him – He is her Lord (is He yours?). She boasts, not in her position as queen, but in the love of her Bridegroom. It is not only her beauty (described in vv. 1-9) which the King desires. She declares confidently, "His desire is toward me." It could be said that this is the highest note of the Song of Solomon and at the same time the most humble. Being certain that the Lord loves us is not pretentious, since this love is not based in any way on our merit. The soul is established in grace. We hope that each one of our readers has this assurance of being loved personally by the Lord Jesus.

The vine of Israel has been fruitless for so long but at last buds and flowers will appear, promise of a magnificent harvest (v. 12). Each redeemed one is called now to worship God through Jesus Christ by offering these precious fruits of praise kept for the Beloved (v. 13; Hebrews 13:15; Deuteronomy 26:1-19).
