Song of Solomon
This did not strike me until yesterday
The writer of the Song of Songs was the son of a king.
Solomon’s father was a man after God’s own heart
Also a song writer but a warrior too.
David.
Let’s go back to one incident
When David was not yet enthroned.
He faced an enemy and slaughtered him
And the Philistines were routed.
But what would have happened in that corner of Judah if he had lost that battle
Or even refused to fight in the first place?
What kind of song would his son have written then?
A lover’s song? A story of the beloved?
Or a different song, a lament?
This reminds me of our warrior King
Who, 2000 years ago won the battle
I can sing today, because yesterday
Jesus won my freedom from the enemy
And my song is no lament.
