BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 1-2; Hebrews 11:1-19
KEY VERSE: Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. Song of Songs 1:5
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Song of Songs 1:1-6
INSIGHT FOR TODAY
For centuries, scholars have debated how to read the Song of Solomon. Some have maintained that the Song is an extended allegory portraying the love between God and His chosen people, Israel. Others say that it’s an allegory that describes the love between Christ and the church. Still others propose that the story is a celebration of love between a husband and wife. These three pictures all affirm a very high view of love and offer potential answers for why Song of Solomon has been preserved in the Scriptures. Throughout this song, we’re reminded of the beauty of love, which ultimately points to God’s love for us. (Insight By: Bill Crowder)
Our Daily Bread – 15th November 2025 MESSAGE
For her daily devotions, Julie began singing the Scriptures. “As I sang, my heart and mind actually began to do and believe what I was singing about!” Through vocalizing God’s Word in song, Julie wanted His truth to shed light on the things she disliked about herself, such as her voice and her height.
She said, “I began to sing from Song of Solomon 1:5: ‘Dark I am, yet lovely.’ ” (In that agrarian culture, a woman tanned by the sun wasn’t seen as beautiful.) As Julie sang the Scripture passage, God changed her thoughts. Suddenly she understood: “God loves me even though I am not perfect.”
Julie sang from a beautiful poem found in the Old Testament’s Wisdom Literature. Some people interpret the Song of Songs as an allegory of God’s love for His people, but many view it as a celebration of marital love. In witnessing the beauty of the couple’s commitment to each other, we can echo the friends’ words: “We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine” (v. 4).
However we interpret these ancient words, we can affirm with Julie that God revels in His chosen people. As He says elsewhere in the Old Testament: “You are precious and honored in my sight, and . . . I love you” (Isaiah 43:4). (Message By: Amy Boucher Pye)
REFLECT: Along with singing, how else could you engage with the words of the Bible in new ways? How can you embrace the truth that God loves you?
PRAY: Creator God, You’ve formed me in Your image and say that You love me. Please help me to know this truth in my head and my heart, that I might share Your love with others.
