September 8, 2022 – Ps 77, Pr 6, Song 2

His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Song of Songs 2:6‭-‬7 NIV

What a beautiful picture of him holding her in his arms. as she rests her head on his arm. Such safety and security. This is during the time of courting. Before the marraige.

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Song of Songs 2:7 NIV

I remember Cam teaching on this book in youth group and this verse stressing that in dating there must be physical restraint. That the arousal of physical love must be saved for the wedding.

My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
Song of Songs 2:14 NIV

The time they spend together they like to look at each other but talking to each other and listening to each other is equally important.
