Introduction

Songs of Solomon speaks about two people who love each other deeply. The relationship between these two people is intimate. In fact they are lovers. The two try to reach each other, but the lover sometimes finds the beloved not prepared for their meeting.

This two people is you and God

Chapter 1

Beloved

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine.

3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!

Beloved so much loves her lover and thinks him so great. That is your spirit as a believer, you love God so much. You see him and feel his name is so wonderful.

Beloved

4 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you!

5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected.

7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?

You love your God so much that you feel he should be so close to you. You do not mind how far astray you have been. You do not care about your faults; all you care about is your God.

You desire that God should keep you among his sheep fold, that you may enjoy his presence.

Friends

8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.

Your love for God sends you on a search to find him. All those who know him tell you to follow other believers to enjoy the presence of your God.

Lover

9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.

11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.

God
