Song of Solomon 6:4-13
Here we go again. Seems like we have more of the same today here in Song of Solomon 6:4-13--lots of gushy, sweet talk. Well, we basically do, but in all that gushing, a few words caught my attention. Here they are: "Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me." (verse 5). Even before I finished reading this passage I found myself going back to this verse and asking Why this comment about her eyes? I came up with a couple of thoughts (and maybe you'll have some as well).
First off our eyes reveal our emotions. They're kind of like a window to our soul. And secondly, we can use our eyes to get what we want. Flirting and seductive looks would be examples of this.
So what did you take away from Song of Solomon 6:4 regarding our eyes? How can we use this verse as a caution for what we do with or how we use our eyes? Tami W.
I agree that much is said with our eyes. The look in her eyes probably sent his heart thumping. The longing he couldn't deal with.
We can tell when someone is sad, happy, afraid or even "empty" by looking at their eyes. It's like a gauge in many ways.
