​Song of Solomon 3:6–8
 
   THE SHULAMITE
     6 Who is this coming out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with
        myrrh   and frankincense, with all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
     7 Behold, it is Solomon’s couch, with sixty valiant men around it, of the valiant of
       Israel.
     8 They all hold swords, being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh
       because of fear in the night.
 
The Shulamite woman sees the one she loves as being someone magnificent! When was the last time you made your loved ones know that you see them as being magnificent? They are, you know. They are the creation of God, specially made for you.
 
Recently, as I stood behind my book table, a man and his wife stopped in front of me and whispered to each other. His eyes simply flashed with love for her. I couldn’t see her face nor hear what they were saying, but I could tell by her body language that she was receiving every word of love that he was saying. What were they demonstrating? Romance. Where has romance gone? Did we kill it with our NPDA? No Public Display of Affection? What’s the matter with the church? The world goes round and round on the wheels of love! Life is a love story!

​Solomon was carried on a couch. So are we. Here we are, on our couch, hopefully enjoying our life on earth filled with romance, while sixty angels are ranged around us, protecting us, hiding us from the terrors of the night. Go ahead and enjoy this life! God made every day just for you. Wake up! Ask what He’s got in store for you today and let Him have His way with you! You have nothing to fear because the expert warriors are by your side!
