Oct 25,2010 Song of Songs 5:2-6:3

Good morning! Today we move on from discovering our lover in the honeymoon phase of the relationship, to the day in and day out routine of life.

Chapter 5

Verses 2-8 The spark of passion may be fading away. I have read over the years that when people have been married a few years the rose colored glasses come off and they wonder why they chose this person to marry?
I think this is where the lovers are now in this section. We can see this in verse 6. But in verses 6-8 the beloved seeks her husband and returns to him. They overcome their problems. Verses 10-16 appears that they have rekindled their love for each other.

Chapter 6

Verses 1-3 - Verse 3 we saw back Chapter 2 verse 16 "I am my lover's and my lover is mine." As with Christ he will never desert us and we will never desert him.

Father God, we read today that the honeymoon phase of marriage has ended and the couple has problems, but they find their way back to each other. I ask today for anyone who is reading this today who is married, that if they are having problems to seek you and I ask for restoration of their marriages. I ask that their hearts turn to one another again, and if necessary to seek godly counsel to restore their relationship. For those of us who are divorced I ask for forgiveness, and move on to be the person you desire us to be. We know you will always comfort and love us no matter where we are. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
