ENOUGH SAID
Prov 5:15-20
15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. 16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? 17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. 18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer — may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. 20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?
NIV
No Problem, enough said. Well there certainly should be more said about fidelity within the marriage setting, especially in the society we live in with all the men of public statue engaged in non-fidelity behavior. But I will leave that dead dog lay. So enough said, no problem, it is not a suggestion, but a command that needs to be adhered to for the health and wellbeing of my spirit. Enough said. But is this just talking about the marriage of man and women, or should this be seen as the marriage of a believer to Christ, to be the bride of Christ as the scripture declares? I think perhaps this is in fact that image. Why would I have an affair with the world if I am the bride of Christ? Why embrace the lifestyle, the standards, even the concepts of the world’s way of living? I cannot quite get the picture of Solomon who had over seven hundred woman, telling his son to rejoice in the single wife of his youth. No, I think this may well be a look at the fidelity of a believer to Christ. Enough said.
