Song of Solomon 2:14-15
"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. Catch for us the foxes, the little
foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom."
These 2 simple verses can teach us a lot of Biblical truths and
important aspects of a Godly honoring and caring man. The first thing I
have to ask is, do you compliment your wife on everything amazing about
her that God has created? This women you made a covenant with is a
beautiful unique creation and masterpiece of God. Do you realize that?
God has designed her with amazing care and creativity. God crafted her
after His inner peace and holiness and then after He designed her, He
gave her to you as His daughter and gift to care for and protect. These
verses remind us men that we need to compliment and admire the beauty
that God has created in her. Does your beloved have a sweet voice? Does
she have rich deep full eyes of compassion? Is she an amazing cook? Does
she raise and guide your children worthy and honoring of God? Does she
listen, respect and follow you? How has God created an amazing gift for
you in your wife? I guarantee that God has created a masterpiece in your
wife, so you need to let her know what you admire and love about her.
Compliment her, tell her, show her, remind her, make sure that your
beloved knows the aspects about her that are truly awesome and
compliment her all the time.
#1- Our jobs. Point blank what comes first in our lives says a lot about
who we are as men of God. God had better come first in your life but
after Him, it had better be your wife not your job. She had better know
that she is first and her love is the most important physical thing in
this life. Your job is a big hungry fox that will destroy your love and
covenant in a single bite.
#2- Kids. What comes first, the kids or the covenant? The Bible says the
covenant with our beloved comes first followed by the multiplying of
children. So your covenant with her has to be first and stay first.
Children can consume so much of our time and energy but they will grow
up and move out and then what happens? The kids are a deep love of our
lives and will always hold a special place but they should never be
before the covenant we made with our better half.
Here are 2 visible external foxes that can eat away at the covenant love
in our marriages. You might have know them but maybe you never thought
about them that way.
