Make it Obvious

Scripture:

Song of Songs 2:4  "He escorts me to the banquet hall; it's obvious how much he loves me".

Observation:

These are the words of a young woman who is in love.  Solomon records her feelings and shows how much his actions mean to her.  The fact that he escorts her to the banquet hall, and apparently how he escorts her, makes her feel super loved as a woman.

Application:

Sometimes in life and marriage life happens and the romance of our relationships grow dim.  In this passage I see a woman thrilled with the fact that she was escorted to the banquet hall by her man.  I know in  my life I am guilty of "meet me at the restaurant and we will get something to eat".  A woman wants to be escorted to the restaurant.  It shows her that you love being with her.

Prayer:

Father, help me be a better husband to Cheryl.  Help me to see the little things I can do to make her feel loved.  I want her to be able to say, "it's obvious how much he loves me".  Teach me to make her feel that way and to demonstrate it in a way that will make her know it.

Yours,
Jeff
