Song of Solomon, chapter 6, verse 10.

Who is this who looks down like the dawn?

Beautiful as the moon. bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners. So this is

the husband in this relationship and so I was Solomon talking about his wife.

And as you hear these words,

they might almost sound a little overboard.

Like, really, she looks down like the dawn, she's beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun,

and awesome as an army with banners, but that's part of the beauty of this book in the Bible because it's showing us this is the way

husbands and wives are supposed to talk to each other and about each other. They're supposed to build each other up and Heather

and I were talking the other night to a couple that's about to get married and our conversation was just about how potent our words can be in

marriage, how a husband or a wife can so build up the other and like nobody else in the world can with their words and

a husband or a wife can tear down each other like nobody else in the world can with their words.

So to use our words obviously at all times in every way we prayed about this and all throughout the proverbs and

different places in scripture that our words would be edifying to others and

glorifying to God and all the more so in this close intimate relationship called marriage.

And so for any husband or wife listening to this right now and specifically husbands in light of

husbands saying this to his wife and about his wife in Song of Solomon chapter 6 verse 10

let it be a takeaway from this verse today

to go overboard and be extravagant in your praise of, and I don't use that word lightly, I think about

Proverbs chapter 31 charm is deceitful beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
