Read Song of Solomon 4 in context

Scripture Focus

1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

2Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

3Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

4Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

Neville's Inner Vision

To you who hear Song of Solomon 4:1-4, the beloved's beauty is a map of your own consciousness. Each image: doves' eyes, hair as a flock, teeth washed and bearing twins, scarlet lips, temples like a pomegranate, and a neck like the tower of David - exemplifies your mental center, protected by faculties of faith, imagination, memory, and discernment. The declaration 'thou art fair' is not vanity but the I AM's recognition of your inner being; you are already formed in beauty by God's imagination. The tower of David with bucklers exemplifies your mental center, protected by faculties of faith, imagination, memory, and discernment. You do not chase beauty; you awaken to the truth that you are the living temple of God, and the world of appearances will reflect that inner state as you dwell in it. By assuming this truth and feeling it real, your outer life aligns with your inner light.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling: 'I am beautiful in the I AM’s eyes.' Visualize your neck as a steadfast tower with bucklers, guarding your inner peace, and rest in that strengthened sense of self.
