(Song of Solomon 4:1-4) How beautiful you are, my
darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is
like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock
of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of
them is alone. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your
temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Your neck is
like the tower of David, built with elegance; on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
The greatest relationship is when 2 servants
serve each other.
1. Godly sex is affirming.
People become what you say
about them (Proverbs 25:11).
Public affirmation works the
best.
(Song of Solomon 4:5) Your two breasts are like
two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies.
2. Godly sex is tender.
3. Godly sex is passionate.
(Song of Solomon 4:7) All beautiful you are, my
darling; there is no flaw in you.
4.Godly sex is secure.
(Song of Solomon 4:9-11) You have stolen my heart,
my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace. How delightful is your love, my sister, my
bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your
perfume than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
(Song of Solomon 4:12) You are a garden locked up,
my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
5. Godly sex is holy.
God has a standard.
Jesus died for the violation of it. The Bible illuminates our life in
it. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live in it.
(Song of Solomon 4:15-16) You are a garden
fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon. Awake, north
wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread
everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
God’s way isn’t just
right
it’s better.
