The Song of Solomon
The
plot centers on King Solomon’s love for a humble maiden. Courtship leads to
marriage and then to the joys and trials of married love. This book is a
beautiful presentation of the love of husband and wife, for the Jews accepted sexuality
as a precious gift from God, a holy expression of true commitment in marriage,
a celebration of two souls united in marriage. It is also an expression of the
love relationship between believer and Savior.
The
expression “Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases” is an exhortation
to abstain from sex before marriage. Sex, then is a jewel that must await the
right setting.
The
Song reminds us that with God, all things are possible (I Cor. 13) even marital
love in a culture where marriage has fallen on hard times.
Even
after the husband and wife have left the earth, the lasting influence of a
strong marriage inspires future generations. For husband and wife to carefully
identify and prayerfully address problems as they arise is one secret to a
strong marriage. It is also a way to stoke the intimacy fires for a lifetime.
Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to
its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for
Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary.
