The Shulammite Girl​—An Example Worthy of Imitation

What made her an outstanding example for worshippers of Jehovah?

The Shulammite girl with the daughters of Jerusalem
  • She wisely waited for true love
  • She refused to have others pressure her into feeling romantic love for just anyone who came along
  • She was humble, modest, and chaste
  • She would not let her love be bought with gold or flattery

Ask yourself:

‘Which quality of the Shulammite girl could I better imitate?’

“Remember . . . Your Grand Creator in the Days of Your Youth”

TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | ECCLESIASTES 7-12

“Remember . . . Your Grand Creator in the Days of Your Youth”

Remember your Grand Creator by using your abilities to serve him while you are young

A young man stands erect and an old man stands with the aid of a cane
  • Many youths have the health and vigor to tackle exciting and challenging assignments
  • Youths should use their time and energy in God’s service before old age limits them

Solomon used poetic language to describe the challenges of old age

  • Women look out a window
    Verse 3: “The ladies looking out the windows find it dark”
    Diminished vision

  • Women sing
    Verse 4: “The daughters of song grow faint”
    Diminished hearing

  • Caper berries
    Verse 5: “The caper berry bursts”
    Diminished appetite
