About this listen

Although Solomon composed 1,005 songs (see 1 Kings 4:32), this one is in a class by itself. It was his magnum opus. Solomon called it his song of songs (see Song of Solomon 1:1)! This poetic song was directed to his young bride. Though she often gets overlooked by many who read the Bible, she caught Solomon’s eye. Let’s notice some of her qualities. I’ve put them in the form of four juxtapositions.


I. She’s Unnamed but Not Unnoticed (1:8-10, 15)

II. Passionate but Not Promiscuous (2:4-7)

III. Desirous but Not Dominating (3:6-11)

IV. Irritated but Not Inflexible (5:2-3, 6-10)


Talk with God: Read Genesis 16:13 and Matthew 6:25-34 and spend time in prayer to thank the Lord for His faithfulness in seeing you and providing for you.

Talk with others: Ask your friends and family if they’re feeling overlooked and how you can help support them in this season.

Talk with kids: What special promise did God make to David?
