Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 20 March 2024
The beloved spoke well of herself, and the lover also spoke well of her (vs.1-2). When you learn to appreciate yourself, your spouse will appreciate you the more; and you will be able to give and receive love.
The beloved calls him, “my lover” (vs.3,8-10). What names does the lover call his beloved (vs.2, 10,13-14)? Who is your spouse to you and what expressions of love do you use for each other?
Read and reflect on vs.3-7 again. As a husband, is your love the banner over your wife? How often do you invite her into your ‘banquet hall’ (vs.4,10,13) and how long and how much does she desire to sit under the roof of your love and partake of its sweet and precious fruits? Often, men complain that their wives are not submitting to them as the bible commands. But is your wife comfortable under the banner of your love? When you love your wife as the bible commands, you will make it easier for her to readily submit to you in obedience to God’s word (Ephesians 5:25-33; Colossians 3:18-19).
Practice/Word Application
What next? Are there little foxes that are destroying your marriage and not allowing your love for each other to blossom? Identify them and make it a matter of prayer.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Appreciate God for your spouse and pray that your love for each other will grow more and more.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Jeremiah 20:11
“But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.”
