"His Banner Over Me is Love" 

Song of Solomon is a book of the Bible that many overlook as a book of marital love. But in reality, even though it covers marital love, it also points to the Love of Jesus throughout the book.  Song of Solomon, chapter 2; verses 1-7 speaks of the believers of Christ and how we are clothed in His Righteousness. Could this be the Bride of Christ? Or individuals? We will know for sure one day. But what most of us know is that we are weak on our own. However; with Him we are strong. The other night in Bible Study we were speaking about Jesus being the Vine and we are the branches. A song I sang as a child and have taught my daughter and grandson through the years immediately came to my heart: “He is the Vine and we are the branches, His banner over me is Love”. Another verse of this song says “He brought me to the banqueting house, His banner over me is Love” and that is what we are going to speak about this morning.

Song of Solomon 2:4 “He brought me to the banqueting house, and His Banner over me is Love” The banqueting house refers to a place where a special wine was given to drink. It was brought out for a feast. The table is well spread. It refers to the Covenant that The LORD has with us. The Covenant of Grace and Favor. The Covenant of everlasting life. This Covenant is full of Blessings, Promises, and Provisions. We are brought into this banqueting house in a Grand and Royal welcome. Can you picture it with me? We are being welcomed in. The trumpets announce our entrance, “Welcome, Child of God, welcome” A Banner is flying High over us. Perhaps, it is the color Red, representing the Blood of Jesus. Either way, this Banner represents The Love of Jesus and is flying majestically over us… “This is my Beloved; this is my Love. This is my Bride”. “Look upon her, I Love Her so very much” The Banner belongs to Jesus and is engraved with His Name and inscribed LOVE. Many people wave flags signifying what country they belong to or what they love. But The LORD is waving HIS flag OVER us; He is signifying that WE belong to HIM. Not the other around. I love that, don’t you? As a Child of God, as the Bride of Christ, we belong to HIM!!!

A banqueting house is a place where they would take the people that were closest to them and it describes abundance. There is no hunger. There is no thirst. We are Protected with His Love. He gives us life and life more abundantly WHEN we choose to live for Him. It’s a Covenant between the two of us. It’s a Promise. It’s a relationship. It’s not about any other junk. It’s just ALL about JESUS!!!

Look up, Child, and see that Banner flying high over you today and Shout with Joy!!!

*He brought me to His banqueting table, His Banner over me is Love.  He brought me to His banqueting table, His Banner over me is Love. He brought me to His banqueting table, His banner over me is love. His banner. Over Me. Is LOVE~~~*

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
