09.22.2015 Old Testament: Song 5.1

To read the Bible in a year, read Song of Solomon 4–5 on September 22, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

Solomon prepared himself for his bride, and he invited his friends to join in the celebration,

I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, O friends!
Drink, yes, drink deeply,
O beloved ones!
(Song 5.1) 

In the first four lines, he spoke to his bride, the Shulamite, and in the last three lines, he spoke to his friends.

Love is something to celebrate! Love is something that you want your friends to know.
