Song of Songs: The Greatest Love Story in the World

The Fight for Joy Fight the good fight of faith. 1Ti 6:12  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. Joh 15:11   And your joy no man taketh from you. Joh 16:22  What Remains Joy is deep. It is not happiness, that fluttering of wild mirth. Joy is high, it stirs the soul, it pierces the spirit, it settles finally into a halcyon contentment. On another level joy pans into wisdom, of which Job struggled to catch in chapter 28. “What is wisdom?” he poses, before he plunges into that shimmering poetics. There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen : The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. Job 28:7 -8 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?  Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. Job 28 :12-13    Yet believing is the joy...

Being Drunk with the Good Wine! Son 5:1   I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.  This is where I let my mind roam. Please bear with me. It’s love! Christ, the light, wisdom, power and salvation of the world! Rom 8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  Love. Mouth. Kiss. Wine. Son 1:2   Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.  Without a mouth how should we know the taste of things? Wine is good but give me something solid than that. Give me his mouth. Give me his words. It is those that I want to eat, anytime. Eze 16:6   And when ...

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. Isa 38:19 -20   Life is About Praise! Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Son 1:2   We are all brides hungering for love. Sometimes we know what it is. Many times we don’t. Like an itch we expect it to stop but it doesn’t. Songs are the pulse to the heartbeat. We sing because the heart races to the sky. We are lifted into a vocal pageant whose notes spill into the blood. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, sings the psalmist. Songs are woven into our nature. We sing at sunrise, we sing at noon, and we sing at sun set. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in...
