Books of the Bible: The Song of Solomon

The Song of Solomon is a poetic book often overlooked, yet it holds a deep well of spiritual truth. Beyond the romance of bride and groom, it reveals the ultimate love God has for His people. It teaches us that faith is not just duty—it’s devotion. This book reminds us that our relationship with God is intimate, personal, and full of beauty. It lifts our view of love to something sacred and spiritual.

Song of Solomon 2:4 says, “He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love” (NKJV). That banner isn’t temporary—it is the constant covering of God’s love over your life. The book invites us to see ourselves not just as servants, but as beloved children. When faith is rooted in love, it flourishes with joy.

Let Song of Solomon rekindle your affection for the One who calls you His own.
