Song of Solomon 7 and 8 conclude the book with expressions of love by both the king and the bride. Their love is profound.

Several times in the book we read the statement, “I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not stir up or awaken love until it is ready!” I believe this is advice to wait until the wedding night to become one. Too often we give ourselves to another too early. This cheapens the relationship and show little value for one’s own body and self-esteem. Waiting may be difficult, but waiting until vows are made and the marriage is blessed by God brings blessings in abundance.

Psalm 99 speaks of God’s justice. The psalmist praises God for executing both justice and righteousness, both forgiveness and restitution.

Psalm 100 is as famous as Psalm 23.  It is a song that calls the faithful into worship. We are to worship God because we are God’s people. His love and faithfulness endure.

Psalm 101 is a psalm of commitment and dedication. The psalmist promises to live a life of integrity and righteousness.
