Song of Songs (2)

Verse 2:3 says, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."

Notice the words "apple tree among the trees." In the original language "apple" is "bergamot orange." It is an evergreen plant and does not shed its leaves in winter. Outwardly, it looks somewhat like a pomegranate, and it tastes somewhat like an orange and lemon. "The sons" can only be compared to ordinary trees, whereas the beloved has three characteristics: (1) He can become a forest. Emphasis is placed on the word "wood," which denotes tallness. (2) His overshadowing never fails. He is an evergreen and therefore provides shade all the time. (3) He bears fruit. Many trees are green but do not bear fruit. He is tall, overshadowing, and fruitful. The maiden has come to realize the Lord as the One who is all in all.

The Best Love for the Lord

早晨呼求主名享受祂时
突然想唱诗歌
就翻了我们大专排诗歌本
翻到这首- The Best Love for the Lord
就唱了起来

"Loving You, Lord's all I'm living for;
Loving You, Lord to the uttermost. "
当唱到下一句时,
眼泪好像要流下来:
"Lord, forgive me if I've left my first love,
that's the bridal love to You."

然后很享受第三节:
"I treasure my time alone with You,
Just to gain the best love You long for.
My dearest Husband,
draw me with Yourself
Into Your chamber right now.
Be the first in all my work and life,
Be the first in all my service too.
In relationships, You must be the first;
Have preeminence in me."

是主先爱我们
把自己倾倒下来
为要得着我们
所以祂配得我们给祂上好的爱
主啊,保守我的心
叫我离开仇敌的试诱
在一切人事物里凡是向你敞开
让你来作主

The Song of Songs

1:4 , "The King hath brought me into his chambers."

"The "chambers" are the "secret place" (Psa. 91:1), which are the bedrooms. Unless we have very deep friendship with a person, we will not bring him into our chambers. Therefore, when the King brings her into the chambers, it signifies the beginning of fellowship and revelation. In the chambers she tastes of a fellowship that was previously unknown. But more than this, she sees something that she has not seen before."

Lord, draw me into Your chamber now, I long for Your fellowship and revelation. Save me from this trial. Let me see something.
