His Banner Over me is Love!

“He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.” (Song of Solomon‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In a Jewish wedding, the wedding couple get married under a canopy called a “Chuppah” which consists of a big sheet (like a banner) stretched out over four standing poles.

This scene is a picture of two people in love sealing their marriage by a covenant.

Imagine Jesus standing with you under the canopy, affirming His love for you. He sealed the New Covenant of Grace for you by shedding His own precious blood.

Perhaps that is why I was led to color the carpet as red because we are standing upon the foundation established by His blood.

““You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.” (Exodus‬ ‭26:31‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Without realizing it until the picture was done, the colors I used reflect the four colors of the veil in the Tabernacle, and the golden wings of the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant. The Chuppah is like a tabernacle—you are preserved from the corruption of the world and kept from harm in God’s dwelling place.

“For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.” (Romans‬ ‭7:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

A covenant between two is dissolved when one of the two parties dies.

You already died once when you first placed your faith in Jesus. You shared in His death at the cross, His burial, and His resurrection. This means that the covenant between you and God can never become null and void!

When you know that you are united with Jesus by an everlasting covenant, you will not be afraid of falling out of His favor or of any enemies.

His banner over you is love. Just look up and see His love spreading out over you, enveloping you, keeping you safe and protected under the shelter of God!

Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.

By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord! Become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this reward, daily devotionals by email, and also all my eBooks.

Found this super adorable local cafe near our hotel that has beautiful pine green vines twined round the pink building. I find that contrasting colours make places more interesting and photogenic.
Also love how there’s always actual communication and genuine connections going on at these local businesses in Japan. The barista knew a few customers by their name, and I (accidentally) eavesdropped on two girls sharing their uni life in different countries. Such a warm and cosy vibe!
