Thought of the Month
This month’s verse is from a poetic part of the Bible. A bride was looking forward to
marrying her husband, a rich king. In addition to the wealth of things to be enjoyed in
his banqueting house, she rejoiced in the great love he had shown to her.
The verse can also be seen as a picture of how a loving God wants a relationship
with each of us. Our wrong separates us from Him but in amazing love He has
provided a way so we can enjoy His presence. Jesus Christ died and rose again so
that all who turn from their sin and trust Him as Saviour can be forgiven and become
part of His family.
Like a large feast, many blessings come from this new life close to God. But best of
all - written like a banner over everything - is the confidence of being loved by God.
