Days 124&125: Psalm 119:89-176, Song of Solomon 1:1-5:1

Alright, I have to tell the truth, I have no idea what's going on in Song of Solomon. I'm reading it, and I recognize that it's some sort of drama or play...but I truly am not sure what it has to do with the story of scripture or why it's in the Bible. I never have. I know some have said it's sort of an allegorical representation of Christ and the church...I'm not so sure. I kind of think it's just an example of Solomon's artistic nature...or maybe it's actually a story of him and one of his wives. I don't know. Maybe I'll look into it a little more...maybe I won't. I never have so maybe I should...we'll see.

Anyway...my favorite verse in today's reading was the very first verse I read:

Your word, LORD, is eternal;
   it stands firm in the heavens. (Psalm 119:89)
