TOPIC: His Name as Ointment (DCLM Daily Manna, 20 February 2025)
KEY VERSE: “Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth. Therefore, do the Virgins love thee?” (Song of Solomon 1:3)
TEXT: Song of Solomon 1:1-4 (KJV)
1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me; we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee; we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The Song of Solomon stands out in the scriptures as an inspired and meticulously crafted account of God’s thoughts on the nature of the relationship mankind should have with Him. Written by the wise sage, King Solomon, it expresses the best of Solomon’s rendition.
It portrays an idyllic illustration of the unpolished love between a shepherd and a shepherdess. Solomon was the shepherd, and the peasant Shulamite was the shepherdess. The Shulamite is enraptured with the love of Solomon. So are other virgin daughters drawn irresistibly to the personality and quality of the name of Solomon. The shepherdess likens Solomon’s love to the sweetness of wine.
King Solomon invites the Shulamite into his chambers. That invitation elicits joy in the Shulamite and the other virgins. Christ’s unfettered love for His church is the obvious illustration of this song. Christ’s name is an attractive ointment to His beloved saints. His love is better than wine.
True children of God always find in Christ an unfathomable depth of love that draws them ever so close to the Lord. The poetic song is an illustration of the joy of salvation of the believer’s newfound love in the Saviour who has given Himself freely and fully to His children. Not only does the Holy Spirit witness within the believer’s spirit that he is now a child of God. But Christ also draws the believer to a deeper commitment and dedication to God.
