At the beginning of the year Rick and I set a goal to read the Old Testament this year. We determined that if we read four pages a day we could do it. While I have loved reading about the many wonderful events that have taken place in the OT it has not been an easy task. There is a lot that is unpleasant to read. Anyway.....we're getting there.
Today while Rick and I were at the airport waiting for our connecting flight Rick was trying to get some reading in. He is in Proverbs and I am a little further back in Psalms:) (I've had a busy week and have fallen behind:( Anyway...I looked over and saw the heading and thought it was sweet. It read, "Rejoice with the wife of thy youth". I pointed it out to Rick and smiled and said, "That's me."
A few minutes later he nudged me and smiling pointed to the passage that the heading was referring to. The full verse reads....and I am not kidding...." Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou always ravished with her love.
We both had a good laugh at that and I said, "That was clearly written by a man!"
Oh the things we can find in the scriptures!!
