Ravished & Overcome June 10, 2009
Scripture:
Song of Songs 4:9 “You have ravished my heart, my treasure, my bride. I am overcome by one glance of your eyes, by a single bead of your necklace.”
Observation:
Though tempted to journal about the armor of God, I don’t get enough opportunities to journal about my wife. Just a couple nigts ago I sat looking at her asleep and was struck again by how gorgeous she is. What makes her even more so is a lack of vanity (I LOVE that she doesn’t spend a lot of time “getting ready”), and even more than that, her modesty. It seems Christian women wear revealing clothing, whether in fit or in cut, as much as secular culture – a practice which (to me) speaks of low self esteem and or vanity. My wife has always been a beacon to me in this area. Beyond the appreciation for this value, it means to me that she is reserved for only me – and that makes her all the more attractive.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for my wife – help me love her as she deserves, help me make her feel like I am overcome by her presence.
