Song of Songs - Which is Solomon’s

Chapter 7:

The dance of Love between Groom and Bride continues and grows more intimate; Lover and the Beloved embrace and interact.

The Groom beholds and admires his Bride.

Verse 1-9;   It will take the Spirit of the Lord to hold us from natural, earthly, imagery in this chapter.  For if we are not spiritual here, we can fall prey to our temporality and become tramped in sensuous thoughts. The earthly act may have been some of Solomon’s motivation as well as the beloved also.  But herein lies the deep places of spiritual union we may experience with our Lord as we walk with him and he with us.  

The Lover walks upward from her feet to the crown and hair of her head with wonderful descriptive analysis.  Note the comparative analysis with great things of his day.  It is to say that “as great as things are in this earth, so great are these things of you in my heart.   We are wonderfully made by the hands of God. As the crown of His creation, this is what God designed us to be.  For His Glory and His delight.  

Psalms 16: 3;   But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

The Beloved responds.  The Bride replies.

Verse 10-13;  

Psalms 37: 4;   Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 

You will know this place when the words of the Song “Yes Lord” becomes your reality.  Yes Lord, from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul; “YES LORD,” completely “Yes!”  And another song that says; “Have thine own way Lord, have thine own way.”

I suggest spiritual counterparts be asserted to that of body part references.
