Bible
Study Week Two –
Adoration
& Thankfulness
By Carri Pratt /
Amy Gentry, Editor
“And let the peace of the Messiah,
to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts.
Be Thankful”
Colossians 3:15
This week
read: Song of Solomon 5:10 – 5:16
Wow! This week we are privy to a private
observation of the Shulammite’s steamy view of her hottie husband!
She starts with the
whole man and then compliments him from top to bottom. She goes into sensual details of her very
favorite things about each part of him.
Holman’s literal
translation states, the “Shulammite met Solomon’s need for admiration and
respect with a catalog of praise in 5:10-16.
Here she lauded both his appearance and character.” (p 286)
A good question for
us to ponder is “How often do I meet my
man’s need for admiration and respect?”
A fun romantic
exercise is to take a moment, sit back and admire the man God has placed in
your life. A flood of memories enter our
minds of what first attracted us to our groom.
Watch him, notice his features, observe the way he moves, what is it
that makes him laugh? What is it about
him that you like the best?
Let it be said that
“(your name here) met (your husband’s name here)’s need for
admiration and respect with a catalog of praise.”
