Day 65: November 22, 2025 – Song of Solomon 1-8

Let ‘s just begin by saying that this book of the Bible is very different from any other book of the Bible. It describes a king, Solomon, speaking about his beloved in fairly frank and overt tones. It describes her physical beauty, even those parts that we aren’t used to reading about in the Bible, they are mentioned. It is a beautiful description of two people who are in love and are having a hard time staying away from each other. There are two verses that I used periodically in weddings, and they are 8:6-7 which states quite plainly: “If one offered for love all the wealth of his house he would be utterly scorned.” There is no substitute for love that is mutually shared.
