Wait for a Man who…
…is a place of rest and refuge. [Song of Solomon 2:3]
Notice the language in this verse, “Sit in his delightful shade.” He should be a place of safety, where you can rest. You shouldn’t have to always have your guard up when you are around him. If you have to constantly tell him to stop touching you, or you always feel like he “takes things to far”, then he is NOT like the apple tree. He should COVER you, not EXPOSE you. You should feel comfortable being yourself around him. Able to let your hair down and relax. Don’t settle for anything less!
…is going somewhere. [Song of Solomon 2:10]
He has a vision for his life, has a job, a car, and a future. He can probably beat his friends at Modern Warfare 3 or throw a football 45 yards. But that doesn’t mean he can love and lead you the way you deserve! You need to make sure this man has a career, and a plan for his life. Don’t settle for anything less!
…is life giving. [Song of Solomon 2:12]
The Bible says “the wages of sin is death.” And Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” If you are with a man who constantly tempts you to sin, then he is not life giving. Death follows sin. A life giving man will challenge you to grow in your relationship with God. Don’t settle for anything less!
