Ask the Lord for His understanding of Song of Songs 7-8. Read Song of Songs 7-8. Let’s journey!

Song of Songs 7-8: Song of Songs is an expression of love, shown through a young woman and a man. They quarrel and are separated – showing the challenges all marriages face. They remember their love and seek out each other, reuniting again. (Song of Songs 7:1-8:14)

Our focus verse for today:

6Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.
7Many waters cannot quench love;
    rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
    all the wealth of one’s house for love,
    it would be utterly scorned.
(Song of Songs 8:6-7, NIV)

In a Godly marriage, two people surrender to each other, they trust each other. It is a love that withstands the flow of a river, the heat of a fire. How do you view love? Is it Godly?
