Proverbs 5: 15-20

¹⁵ Drink water from your own cistern,
And running water from your own well.
¹⁶ Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?
¹⁷ Let them be only your own,
And not for strangers with you.
¹⁸ Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with the wife of your youth.
¹⁹ As a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be enraptured with her love.
²⁰ For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

A loving deer and a graceful doe.  What a beautiful imagery of marriage.   May I always be graceful with my husband, and he always be loving towards me, on the bad days, the stressful days, as well as the good days.  Solomon has a way with words and imagery, as he speaks of having his fountains and streams of water not be found in the streets.  Graphic, powerful, intoxicating imagery, of fornication and lust. For married people, I could not even attempt to add to Solomon’s wisdom.

I know that there are widows, and single woman taking part in our study, so how does this relate to you? I would say that there are  gods among us that cause us  to walk away from our true love: Jesus.   This is not where Solomon was going here – but, how do we walk away from our first true love? How do we loose focus on Him and being enraptured in His love?

Around your page, with the door and the roadblocks – tell me about Jesus.  Tell me about His love for you and how that is bigger, better and more intoxicating that seduction’s lure.
