Once your soul is intertwined with someone, you no longer have authority or control over your mind, will, or emotions. Ever wondered why “don't stir up or awaken love until the right time” keeps showing up in Song of Solomon? Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell dives deep into the themes of passion, love, and covenant, drawing wisdom from Song of Solomon and personal experience. He explores how awakening love or passion prematurely can impact our emotional and spiritual well-being, emphasizing the importance of identity, discipline, and true covenant over mere commitment.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 11 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website
Song 3:1-11 | Josh Miller
Song of Songs 1:1-17 NIVSolomon's Song of Songs. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women love you! Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you! Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect. Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends? If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariot horses. Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.Song of Songs 2:1-7 NIVI am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
Song of Songs 1:1-4 NIVSolomon's Song of Songs.Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women love you!Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you!

Song 1-2 | Josh Miller
Have you thought much about how the Song of Solomon shows you the love of Christ for you. We will think about that together in this episode.To read the original post, visit https://www.theapollosproject.com/the-bridegroom-the-song-of-solomon-and-middle-age/
In "Have You Seen the One I Love": Contemplation on Song of Solomon 1:15, Eric Tadros explores the deep spiritual relationship between the soul and God as reflected in the Song of Solomon. Eric discusses how the Lord views the soul as beautiful and desirable, even amid sin, emphasizing God's persistent desire for the soul's return. Eric highlights the importance of seeking God's testimony over worldly praise, using examples like John the Baptist, St. Mary, and others who appeared plain outwardly but were great in the sight of the Lord. He reflects on themes like labor, faith, love, confession, and humility as qualities that make the soul beautiful to God. The symbolism of “dove's eyes” is explained as representing spiritual insight and the presence of the Holy Spirit, urging believers to maintain purity, presence, and peace in their gaze and interactions. Eric encourages embracing the paradox of the Christian life where God's standards differ from the world's, seeking to hear, “Behold, you are fair, my love.”
This chapter highlights the strength and power of marital love.

Just Stop." by Josh Niemi: https://www.expositoryparenting.org/blog/2022/11/7
In this episode, we dive into the Song of Solomon—a striking collection of ancient Hebrew love poetry. Unlike any other book in Scripture, it boldly celebrates desire, beauty, and mutual delight, giving voice to both lovers and inviting us to see human intimacy as something sacred and good. We'll explore how its vivid garden imagery, themes of equality, and the refrain “Do not awaken love before its time” offer wisdom for relationships and intimacy today. Join us as we discover why this poetic book still speaks powerfully to questions of love, longing, and the sacredness of sexuality.
