Moving on from Proverbs 31 to Song of Solomon

I really think that Solomon was in deep admiration with this Queen of another kingdom and that there were many qualities that he could see in her soul, because of his wisdom and human knowledge sense. From the human perspective, I believe that God gave him liberty to use his imagination to express the good qualities that he could see in her that he could not imitate or emulate, because he was a man. The imagination of a kingdom ruled by a wise man and a wise woman was beyond him. It could only be in his imagination that he could actually have a woman comparable to him in mental and emotional acumen. They could only touch through admiration because of the limits of spiritual and physical rules of that day. God allowed this wonderful imagination of Solomon's to enter into the cannon of Scripture for our help and edification.
If there were no wiser man than Solomon and we are blessed with this imagery of the beauty of human equivolents joining in marriages, we should study it. Much mush is in there and I will show the spiritual equivolents and neglect to get into any of the explicit.
*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*Read Song of Solomon 1-
Solomon seems to say--
I love to talk to you. I can't find anybody who knows as much about human personalities. You seem to be the equivolent of me and I never thought that I would meet someone who was a woman and who was in leadership, because our culture doesn't groom women to that level of mental ability. I never thought that I could meet a woman who could speak languages and think about the world like you do. I want you to talk for me to women and I want to talk for you to men, in this world. We could lead with wisdom and knowledge. The world would be perfect if we were king and queen. I know why your kingdom is blest. The ends of the earth cannot contain the differences that we are. You are knowledgable of all of the darker things and I am knowledgeable of all of the lighter things, the commandments and Godward things.
Why are our kingdoms separated?
It is my opinion that the desires of hunger for human fellowship with a woman that would be equal to him in intellect drove poor Solomon into idolatry, because the idolatrous nations had women who could be more than just a partner. Everytime we get so religious that we take God's word to mean that the woman should be relegated to the ignorant, we do ourselves the highest injustice. Talk for me, he said. Let her talk for me and let me talk for her. I want that language in mine. I want to be with someone that can challenge me in other areas. How could God mean for me to be so alone in wisdom like this? I don't believe that that is His will for me to be tortured and alone in this.
That is what I think that Solomon was saying, daughters. Apply yourselves to your thinking and communications so that you can be the helper in more than just one area.


***************************************************About doves eyes--
I was always under the impression that the expression “dove’s eyes” was referring to an aspect of cosmetic beauty: something winsome and attractive. I don’t think that is what it is referring to, especially in SoS. I think that it especially refers to eyes that have keen perception of the small providences of God. Eyes that can observe and perceive the smallest movements of insects or leaves. We do everything in our power to teach this element out of children. Especially in this Tech savvy environment. GWCarver was thought astute and calculating and the knowledge of the slaves of the land that they were tilling and caring for was taken for granted until the bollweavil incident. There was something endearing to Solomon that there were things that they took for granted in their culture that were God-bred that Sheva noticed and questioned. Like a dove you go the heart of the matter, he was saying. The darkness of God’s shoe in skin and in representing the humility of God upon the earth breeds a special knowledge. This knowledge and humility needs to be included in the education process somehow and not despised. We have even these things richly to enjoy. Let the poor say I am rich?
Paul seemed to envision a church environment where the educated and the uneducated could enjoy fellowshipping with one another and learning the blessings of faith and life.
We make things so mystical which are really not as mystical as that. The blessing of participating in the needs and convictions of the position of our brethren by faith is what God instituted in the formation of the Church in Christ. Breaking down the walls of partition that Babyl built.
God always had intention of redeeming lost humanity. God brought Sheva into the knowledge of God through Solomon, wisdom without redemption breeds more death. Nothing is true without the redemption in Christ.

Is Self Control a fruit of the Spirit?

There is none without Him. Self control. He has given us all things richly to enjoy and just when we think that we have ourselves in hand in one area or another, there is a change that comes about. Don't get complacent and be what you need to be.
There is forgiveness with God that He may be feared.

The heart of her husband trusts her?

Not just money is an area of trust. He trusts you with his reputation. He trusts you with his posessions. He trusts you with his emotions. He trusts you with much of himself. Can you keep the heart of another person, without stepping on it? Without being a manipulator? Without deception? Prepare yourself to be trustworthy with what is important to someone else and maybe you will be ready to be trustworthy of that which is your own. Do want to reach to the heights of unity in relating that comes from consistent devotion to oneanother over years, the blessing of stewardship is silent but enormous.
Self sacrifice in relating costs but also pays back. Be trustworthy, by the grace of God.

Penny Pinchers for generations.

The heart of her husband will safely trust in her. Can he trust you? I wonder if I am a good example of this to you, dear daughters. Counting and mathfacts are essential, but more essential than the trust of money, is the trust of respect. Are you going to respect him tomorrow? After the first...mistake? After the first...argument? After the second? What makes a marriage work?
Is it because, he is the football hero and she is the Homecoming Queen and they stay fit and adorable for the rest of their lives? What about the rest of us? The normal looking people.
Marriage is a comradery of hearts and souls. You are the trust of the other person and he is the trust of you. People spend alot of time relating to eachother on pseudorelational vehicles like the facebook, with no responsibility to one another. Do you have any responsibility to the people that you chat with or friend request? That is not a friendship, what you do on facebook. That is not a marriage, if it dissolves after the first...dillemma. We are all getting too comfortable with disposable relationships. We are rating people on their looks and personalities and not on their obedience to the Lord and commitment to their responsibilities.

Whether or not you have run through dozens of relationships in your teens and twenties, is no guage of your personhood. Whether or not you marry, if you are a faithful friend, sister, daughter, person; you will know fulfillment. If you are irresponsible in your relationships your griefs will overwhelm you. Beware of what you are praying for.

The Practice of getting along begins at home!




Home is the crucible where love is practiced and personified. Family is the crucible where personable habits are perfected and strengthened. This is where we learn to think and act in concert with others. To weep with others and rejoice with others at their triumphs. Family is where we learn that it is not all about us. Getting along and learning to live in an environment under one governing person and with one God-glorifying goal. Family is synonymous with love in action. We can't live in peace if there is a brewing conflict.
God's Word states that He sets the solitary in families. God is the perfect silent setter. Bump, set, spike. I like to think of God in an anthropomorphism setting the solitary like a volleyball into the game. The game is Family. He keeps putting it in play and we keep thinking that the game is about being solitary. When we get solitary, He sets us into play!
Whose gonna win? We ARE!

What, my sons and daughter, of my womb and of my vows?

What is the problem now? What are you beefing about today, says Proverbs 31?
What is the question and what is it you are begging for today. Childhood is full of requests and considerations. I am trying to answer what I can and lead you to the teachers who can answer and guide you in the ones that I can't answer.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

God has blessed me with one of each a son and daughter and one from my womb and one from my vows. I consider each one a person in that verse. Don't spend your strength on sensuality, nor your ways to that which is destruction to your body.
1.Destruction to your body, there are so many toxins that we cannot even name them.
2. Destruction to your soul is more important but don't forget.
When I say no to something, it usually has something to do with one of the above...:{
