He is is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man that strays from his home. (Verses 7-8)
I can honestly say that I am truly excited to marry Susan. However I think that there is a warning in these verses. No matter how excited I am and how strongly I commit today, I think I would be a fool to think that the devil will not try to attack me and attempt to undermine my committment wherever he could. I think the warning here is to 1) remember how green the grass is on my side of the fence, especially since I am just now starting marriage and experiencing a life together with susan, and 2) to be wary of straying. A nest for a bird offers protection and provision. I kow how that the Lord is pleased with me marrying Susan, but I also know that He is free to lift His protection and provision if I am not fulfilling my committment at home with Susan. I am resolved to take heed to this warning and to not stray but also to remember how sweet the honey is that God gave me.
