Doesn't a love story entice everybody? The Song of Solomon is a romantic poem about love between a man and a woman. Some say it is a gift from God, an example of how love should be between a couple, and they are not wrong. However, I am more inclined to attribute it to God's love towards us and how our love should be for Jesus. We are so used to sexual innuendo that it reads like a saucy, lustful tryst. It's okay to look at it that way, but because I have such a desire to worship, I find it pleasing to look at it like the romance between Jesus and us, but in a wholesome way. The King of Kings draws us to himself like a lover chasing after the desire of his heart, and because we are his desire, he calls for us to come to him. Some run away from the call, while others hear it, stop running, and answer. Today, turn around and meet with our Savior, answer his call, and turn your desire toward Him because He is worthy of our love.
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. Song of Solomon 1:4
