Song of Solomon 2:4 “HE brought me to the banqueting house, and HIS banner over me is Love.”
The Banner we Carry!
The flags of countries fly proudest within them.
While the soul who loves CHRIST lifts HIS NAME even higher.
“Come and see, run to ME!”Hear JESUS call!
For HIS banner waves, above us, most zealous.
Aligning the Found with HIS steps seen beneath.
“Come and see, run to ME!”Hear JESUS call!
Glory! Take up the flag of HIS Cross, as the proudest of Found children now…
by displaying great faith as you carry…your own!
“Come and see, run with ME!” Let’s heed HIM WHO calls!
As HIServant reminded and reminding to wave the banner of CHRIST in our lives each day, displaying HIS Cross in our lives,

Devotional: Matthew 16:24 Amplified Version.
“Then JESUS said to HIS disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow ME [as MY disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests],
…and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow ME [believing in ME,
conforming to MY example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in ME].”
Joseph Benson comments, “Song of Solomon 2:4-6.
“HE brought me to the banqueting- house.”
“The places in which believers received the graces and blessings of CHRIST.”
“HIS banner over me — By the lifting up whereof I was invited to come to HIM,
and to list myself under HIM; was/is Love.
The love of CHRIST crucified, which, like a banner, is displayed in the gospel.”
What privilege then to carry our cross as the endless display of HIS love!
Yes, let us serve relentlessly as HIS living banners and zealous witnesses!
Amen and amen.
