Song of Solomon 7:11-8:14
Goodbye Song of Solomon......So here we are. It's our last day in Song of Solomon and I have a few questions for you. Here goes. What did you think of this book? Was there a particular theme or message or maybe a special verse that spoke to you? And finally, what did you learn?
Overall, I found Song of Solomon challenging mainly because its poetry, and that means it's not always a straight forward message. I didn't have a special verse, but it just seemed to me like there was a consistent tone of purity throughout the book (see 2:7, 3:5, 8:4, 8:8-9) even though the subject matter was physical, intimate and even sensual at times. It was also a good reminder that God's design is for a husband and wife to enjoy one another.
So those are my thoughts. Now let's hear some of yours! Tami W.
P.S. Today is also the last day on Song of Solomon on Back to the Bible. If you missed any days or just want to go back and review, the series was called "Love Done Right." The entire series is also available on CD or DVD.
I agree Tami; the poetry was hard to filter through sometimes. But the overall theme of looking at your spouse with such passion was what I took away from it. In the business of our lives, I sometimes find myself being distant from my wife. Let alone trying to shower her with compliments as did Solomon to his Shulammite woman. It was a good lesson for me to remember to stop and let my wife know how much I love and appreciate her!
