The sweet aroma of the bride’s ointments is what she has derived from Him (S. of S. 4:10; 1:3). The quiet and unseen influence of His Person and Presence within and upon her has scented her with His sweet fragrance. Lord Jesus, increase your sweet fragrance in my life so that others would be influenced to love you!

In the Word of God “wine” can been seen in two ways:
- Positively, it cheers both God and man and was part of a daily offering (Judg. 9:13; Exo. 29:40)
- Negatively, it was forbidden to drink by one serving God because it would make their senses dull in spiritual things (Num. 6:1-4; Lev. 10:9-10)

In Song of Songs 4:9-10, the Beloved Christ repeatedly calls His lover, “My sister”. The intimate title “My sister” unveils her status and relation to Him in three ways:
1) Life – they both are organically of the same Father (John 5:26; 1:12-13)
2) Sanctified – they both share a holy nature (Hebrews 2:11)
3) Will of God – they both do the will of God, having the same purpose (Mark 3:35; Luke 22:42)
