Proverbs 5:14-23
Help Your Husband Be Ravished With Your Love
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the
congregation and assembly.
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and
running waters out of thine own well.
Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and
rivers of waters in the streets.
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers'
with thee.
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with
the wife of thy youth.
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant
roe;
let her breasts satisfy thee at all
times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a
strange woman,
and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the
LORD,
and he pondereth all his goings.
His own iniquities shall take the
wicked himself,
and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
He shall die without instruction; and
in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Marriage is so special.
The Lord wants a man and woman to experience a level of commitment that
reflects His commitment to us - His bride.
He wants marriages to be full of refreshment, nourishment, safety and
contentment. We, as women, can look at
these verses and see that we need to be available to our husbands at all times
for his satisfaction. We, as wives,
should be described as loving and pleasant.
Have you made your husband the highest human priority as far as helping
him and seeking to satisfy him?
Pray that your husband will always be ravished with your
love. The word ‘ravished’ can be
translated ‘intoxicated’. Does your love
fill your husband and cause him to be anaesthetized against the cruel,
destructive arrows of his adversary?
Something that can intoxicate someone has had time to ferment and change
in chemical make up. It started out as
fruit but with time was able to have power over someone’s state of mind. In your marriage, is the fruit of the Holy
Spirit remaining and with time your love is influencing your husband in a way
that helps him avoid the traps of the enemy - especially those lustful traps he
faces on a daily basis?
