Song of Songs 5:8-6:3

In Song of Songs 5:8-6:3 the Shulamite calls upon the daughters of Jerusalem to help her look for her beloved, but there is a problem: her apathy towards him has caused them to think he is nothing special.  In this passage the Shulamite praises her beloved to others causing them to want to seek this beloved as well.  As the Shulamite’s praise of her beloved causes others to seek him, so our praise of God to others causes others to seek him.  The words of praise we give both in marriage and in our relationship to God matter.
