"Love is as strong as death ... It burns like a blazing fire, like a
mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown
it" (Song of Solomon 7:6-7). We thank You, Lord, that Your love is the
greatest love of all: "Nothing can separate us from the love of God in
Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). We can never earn Your love:
"If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be
utterly scorned" (Song of Solomon 8:7). Your love is always Your gift to
us. May Your love burn, in our hearts, "like a blazing fire, like a
mighty flame" - a fire that burns up our dross, a refining fire that
purifies us, a flame that burns for Your glory.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
