The Power of Praise
Preacher: Kevin Nelson Series: Song of Songs Scripture: Song of Solomon 5:8– 6:10
Takeaway: In this passage, the bride and groom give long, detailed descriptions of one another’s beauty. Their praise for each other isn’t just a way to offer a compliment, but a way for them to enjoy and grow their love. These descriptions are not objectifying but personal; they strengthen their exclusive commitment against all competitors. Similarly, our devotion to Christ is strengthened by praise. The best way to displace your love of sin is not just by hating your sin; you must exchange that love for a new one. What would it look like for you to meditate on the beauty of God?
