Song of Solomon 4:11 The Milk and Honey Kiss

This is the Truth Network treasurers of the song of songs, which is how sweet is the first row today suite would be the word as we are now in Solomon chapter 11 should be the host verse of that and which has to do with a deep desire and I'm sure you'll see that and the sweetness of this versatile disc to do the first part of verse because there's so much imagery here.

I don't want to not give it all the attention that it certainly deserves and so here it Jesus or the king is describing his bride. Once again with more attributes of just amazing stuff. So read it in English. The part were going to discuss today is thy lips, oh spouse drop as the honeycomb honey and milk or under thy time and wow there is so much here as you really begin to think through how the milk and the honey that was promised to them in the promised land has so rich rich rich rich rich and I love love love what I'm Spurgeon said about the idea of this honey coming out this honeycomb is it is slow and it is thick and it is rich and it's an interesting thing when you look at that word honeycomb than the actual root of it is like the word defense which is your soul okay and so it's interesting very interesting to me as you might remember as we study the hundred 19 Psalm how many times the word testimony was connected to the word soul or less – in Hebrew, so the idea is my soul will keep thy testimonies for it loveth them exceedingly so your soul is kind of like a honeycomb okay and you can clearly see that your soul. It keeps all these little deposits of nectar and pollen. Okay, that's what honey is it's a combination of all the work of the bees and so I like it. Spurgeon described this because you know I we need to get busy with our little bees and as we listen the people.

Testimonies we store those the sweet nectar of that in the pollen which is interesting. The pollen is is is like a male energy that's part of the hat that comes down and that bit you know we use in order to be fruitful. Okay so as we share our story easy, how they they are like other people you know they can collect the pollen from those stories and put it with the sweet nectar of the story you know it's interesting how the does those things go together to be stored to make up this wonderful right that that we have experienced in so you know when you think about the whole land of Israel is just rich with testimony arming all the stories of Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob in the mad Temple Mount and Peter and Paul in and all my goodness it's just rich and thick with this honeycomb itself, but also you know, obviously it is the the land flowing with this honey from this particular honeycomb, and the idea of honey itself. So that's just a honeycomb that is is is made up very similar to the word Nefesh then this other idea of faith mouth okay which is really a cool thing or your very presence that that has the same basic route is beautiful and then the idea of honey right. I don't know if you eat you ever thought about what what that represents but you know that the honey is what is getting stored in honey has the same to beginning letters as the word word okay and so is where hearing these people's words or getting word from the Bible itself. You know it's it's sweet stuff at end and it's very cool that that you know honey is that the exact same let first two letters but the second one is a shin meaning that you know hears these words that we are going to refine and and so in Illinois and when you think about being of the power that the energy that stored up in honey you can kind of see where that where that goes. With all that so you know how neat is that that that honey is flowing out of that honeycomb and it's dripping rich and thick.

In other words, the way he described that is a great sermon doesn't have to many words in a go on and on and on and on that. It's thick and it's rich in one of those words. You know can can store up for some time in your honeycomb you know a story is is just a rich rich thing to share and and that goes into your low honeycomb soul you know is is a is the words of that are stored with the nectar in the pollen and that beautiful well and then you got the idea of milk okay knife did a whole podcast on milk is just called the wonders of milk.

But you know just to go through that again. I think it's very important as we get, you know that that this honey and milk are under the tongue. Okay. And that idea of that being under and Spurgeon made this reference as well. In his sermon on this and I think it's so true that Jesus is aware of the building blocks of your words. In other words when he is kissing as he he not only knows the words that we are saying but he knows the building blocks of what's underneath those words right of of the thoughts that were being put together in order to manufacture the word and he is so intimate with us, that he delights in that like you would delight in a very intimate kiss okay and can get more into that but so you can see how important the milk and honey become so the word milk begins with that word that we seem to be searching all over in the Psalm for a hat that has to do with our union with God and and so if you think about it.

In order for there to be milk in any species or first has to be a union and so is very cool that it requires our union with the Holy Spirit and to in order to get the milk of the word and then what is it you do. It's going to touch our hearts, which is the second letter in the word milk which is alarm. It so you got a hat that's connected to our heart, which is the word the letter that begins both teach and heart and and so you know you think are good milk is for your art, so to speak. The milk of the word is is feeding that in the last letter in the word milk is a bet because it's coming from your mother that identity from the Holy Spirit. Okay so as we ingest the milk of the word right, it has to do with being, we have to be united with Christ to truly get it it it goes right straight into the heart. Obviously, and not only do we learn it. But then we can therefore teach it and it is in our identity. In other words, that when you look at the hold that section you can see in the bed section of the hundred 19 Psalm how you know I've stored up your word in my heart that I will not sin against the all these verses have to do with the word in the bet section because it's definitely becomes part of your identity as you ingested and you ingested through your union and that's how it becomes milk so you get the idea that Jesus is there with both these displays all her bees are gone over and collected all this this pollen and they've collected all this sweet nectar from all the different teachers that we have in our bees are busy get information from also to people like Spurgeon or Brashear or your favorite you know whoever it is that you love the talk that you love to listen to and then you you get the milk from the word and from the Holy Spirit. You know giving you that and all that stuff is the building blocks that are under your tongue right that that are the building blocks of your language of the word tonic tongue itself has to do with teacher that starts with alarm as well and then a shin so it's it's it's kind of like this idea of the teachers refining faith because it ends in an evolving and none none. So the idea of all that when you think about that Jesus is and if you can think back to Becky. The first time that you had an intimate kiss with your spouse right and I hope you know you've had that kind of thing, but there's this life that comes out of that this excitement that comes out of that. That's really remarkable in the think what were saying here is that Jesus gets that kind of excitement that kind of that kind of joy when he is thinking about the building blocks of our words of our very words and in what Spurgeon said I think it's so true when you can. These intimate conversations with with people about Jesus. Where your heart just burns within you is your having this discussion with them right.

You share what they have.

You have and they share what they have and then you do since your heart burning was that heart is burning right Jesus is right there enjoying that kiss.

It's it's spectacular and and you know so when does that work out in life you know when I I've got no I don't know dozens I guess of people that you and I regularly commune with that either they record shows with me or their friends. And whenever we get into one of our discussions about Jesus.

They can go for hours, literally in our hearts burn within us, but also have them in my band of brothers artist talk about last Tuesday night. I have this brother and my band of brothers of messenger and call Danny Marsh and Danny was talking about prayer and he talked about you know his bees. It then busy, and he'd collected some pollen and it was in his soul because you could see this was coming from his soul. He was talking about that he'd heard from this pastor that God was not disappointed in us because we didn't pray he was disappointed for us because we didn't pray and as I began the process. It went in my soul right because that pollen I picked that right up from what Danny said and I put that pollen right in my soul. I thought about it ever since I heard it like I don't want God to be, you know, I want all that God has through this these kisses.

This intimate prayer that we that we were able to have with him and then he went on to say was talking about how God is is always in a very excited about your call, you know, like right now if somebody you know you are.

If you're married you have children of age anything.

If your daughter, your son because it doesn't matter who else is on the line. You're taken that call right or if you taken a call from your parents. Whoever it is that there important person that they are you know your favorite, so to speak. You're taken the call. No matter how busy are doing what well you said that's how Jesus is with your prayers. That's how he is with your call that, like what Rob is on the line.

I gotta take that call and is he described that you know I got admit my heart burned within me to begin to think about all my goodness, how amazing is that how amazing is that and so you think that not only does my heart good to burn within me.

But at the same point in time.

Jesus. His heart is burning as if he's had this passionate kiss because he knows underneath those actual words were the building blocks of thoughts of the milk and the honey that was under my tongue. I may old man that coolers the sheriff I can't tell you the delight it is to share
