Song of Songs 7:10
“I am my beloved’s,
And his desire is for me.
There are many ways to express your love for someone. You can use the basic, "I love you" phrase. Those words should be spoken one to another, multiple times during a day. You can send flowers. You can, also, go on vacations and weekend escapes. However, you can't really express more in love than to use the words expressed above by the bride in our Song of Songs love story. To offer unprecedented commitment in one line and recognize supreme want in the next, is to show the full measure of love. What is being expressed in the above passage between the two lovers is a great picture of what is known about God's love for us and what should be, our love for Him. This love between the two is Biblical love. He has no other desire but to his bride. We are to have no other desire but to our God. She is fully committed to him. God is fully committed to us. This love is expressed in a variety of sensual words in chapter seven of Song of Songs. Touch, smell, sight, hearing and picturesque verbiage is used to say what this bride said in Hebrew and translated to us in just ten English words. Our love for our spouses ought to be on an equal plan. Our only desire ought to be who we have committed to in holy love. Note how Solomon says it in his other wisdom book, Proverbs;
Proverbs 5:18-19
Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
As a loving hind and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be exhilarated always with her love.
Solomon is not about to let something else, or someone else, capture his love or attention. His desire is for his bride and his wisdom for us is to never let that fail. The remarkable thing in Solomon's life is that he DID let it fail. For political motivations, he began to marry other wives and those wives drove him from his true desire, the wife of his youth. We ought to be very careful in our lives, as the world wants us to find other desires. We might desire to be rich and therefore work so much we neglect our love. We might desire to play and spend so much time in play we fail to express our love to our love. We might become twisted and desire the wrong type of love with our love. The above words from Solomon ought to be our mantra: I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.
My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
