“Be Intoxicated…”

“Be Intoxicated…”

Blessings folk!

The Word of God is sharp, vivid, bold, strong, insightful, unrestrained, etc. etc.

I’m always amazed by those who profess to believe, and yet they do not read the Word.
They often say that they “don’t get anything from it”.
Such reveals they are not really saved.
The Spirit will speak through the Word.

Father continues speaking to son, in bold, graphic, poetic language.
Father continues the warning about the adulterers.

Read…what do you see?

Pro 5:15-19

Drink water from your own cistern,
And fresh water from your own well.

Should your springs overflow into the street,
Streams of water in the public squares?

Let them be yours alone,
And not for strangers with you.

Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Like a loving doe and a graceful mountain goat,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be exhilarated always with her love.

What is father saying to his sons?

Drink fresh water from your own cistern and well.
Drink “fresh water” from your wife, not “poisoned water” from the adulteress.

Springs overflow?
Streams of water in the public?
Sons, do not take your seminal streams to strangers in the public arena.
Let them be for you and your wife.
Rejoice in that fountain of blessing that emanates from you to wife.

Then…
Rejoice in the wife of your youth…a very familiar passage, but better context now!
Be satisfied by her.
Be exhilarated…literally means “be intoxicated”…always with her love.
