Song of Solomon-chapter 7
How fair and how pleasant art thou. O love, for delights! KJV, verse 6
Oh, how beautiful you are! How pleasing, my love, how full of delights! NLT, verse 6
LET IT GLOW
Solomon continues his praise of his Shulamite bride's beauty, as in chapter 4. He attempts to dissuade the maiden's faithful affection for her shepherd-love by describing ten of her features that he find particularly beautiful. What woman would not be flattered when she is compared to a tower of ivory or a palm tree? Hmm. Anyway, to sum it up, he finds her fair and pleasant, and delights in her. (verse 6)
Are we pleasant toward our spouse?
Does he delight in us?
Do we speak with words of wisdom and kindness? (Prov.31:26)
LET IT GROW
Does Jesus delight in us?
Is our life pleasing to Him? Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Are or ways beautiful to Him?
In what are we told to delight?
Do we delight:
- in the law of the Lord? Ps. 1:2
- in the Lord? Ps.37:4
- to do His will? Ps.40:8
- in His statutes? Ps.119:16
- in His testimonies? Ps.119:24.
Good questions, huh?
LET IT GO
Help me to be a more pleasant person, Jesus.
May my delight be in You, in Your commands, and Word.
