Surprise! Song of Songs is in the Bible. If you have never read this book of the Bible then you are in for an interesting read. Verse 2 sets the tone: Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. This book is a beautiful expression of human love, sexual love between newlyweds.
Sadly, our world has perverted the beauty and wonder of marital sexual love; it posits sex instead of love expressed between a husband and wife. Our world draws no bounds on sex… ‘just do it’ might be the slogan of our age. God forgive us.
This book portrays the wonder of love between a husband and wife, including sexual love, with dignity and passion. Love and sex, within the bonds of marriage, is a gift from our creator God.
Lord, walk with us as we read of the lover and the beloved. And along our journey of Solomon’s Song of Songs meet us each day. Lord, thank You for the reminder today that love is beautiful and delightful when experienced within Your parameters.
Lord, for those of us who are married help us keep love alive in our marriages.
Lord for those of us not yet married, help us keep our selves pure until we find our life partner and are married under Your blessing. In and through Jesus our Lord, we pray. Amen.
