"Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish." (Proverbs 12:1)
The way I have been led to proceed, is to first break this down by the Song; as mentioned, there are six songs in all, all of different lengths and spaced separately than the chapter breaks. Secondly, to follow the leading of those that will be speaking; which is the three main characters, the Young Woman, the Women of Jerusalem, and the Young man.
As a format for discussion, I will be starting each with character introduction; which will be only at their first appearance, with some exceptions, totally and completely dependent upon the Spirit's leading. I anticipate that there is going to be some backtracking, as there are always certain things that happen in the past to influence the future. After all, I firmly believe that this S.O.S will be very closely related to a very famous Book of the New Testament; both of which are spoken of as great works of art; but, is it any wonder, because we know that the Author is God! He just happens to use us to speak, sometimes shout, His words.
This First Song goes from verse 1:2 through verse 2:7; with several breaks, based upon who it is that is speaking. The first and second song will be separated during the middle of a conversation that the Young Woman is having, which is the only time there will be that occurrence; all the other Songs are ended and finished between the characters.
If there is one thing that I want to share, it is the meaning of this opening verse above and why it is so important to consider going forward, especially for myself: we must be willing to listen, with the intention to obey, to whatever the Holy Spirit says! Everything we do or say in this life is based upon choices, some good, and some bad; but if we are being led by the Holy Spirit, there will be less chance for mistakes, that much I guarantee you!
In case you have not caught on yet, the Book is Romans; a letter of Paul's to the Romans; which has been called the "most profound work in existence." In it Paul declares something that is extraordinary and supernatural; something which cannot to understood or realized until it has been lived and tried, tested and endured. Although we can read it, sometimes over and over, it does not become real until we actually live it out and experience it on our own...
"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 1:1-7)
