Song or Solomon and Bible highlight Sol 2: 1

Monday, February 24 A mere saffron of the coastal plain I am, a lily of the low plains.​—Song of Sol. 2:1. To these words of the Shulammite, the shepherd replied: “Like a lily among thorny weeds, so is my girl companion among the daughters”! (Song of Sol. 2:2) Yes, they truly loved each other. And because they primarily loved God, their marital bond would be strong indeed. In fact, the Shulammite said to her beloved shepherd: “Place me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; because love is as strong as death is, insistence on exclusive devotion is as unyielding as Sheol is. Its blazings are the blazings of a fire, the flame of Jah [for it is from him]. Many waters themselves are not able to extinguish love, nor can rivers themselves wash it away. If a man would give all the valuable things of his house for love, persons would positively despise them.” (Song of Sol. 8:6, 7) When weighing wedlock, why should a servant of Jehovah settle for anything less? w12 5/15 1:4, 5 Sent from Daily Text - Lite / Android App / Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Kgraf
