Today's Scripture *July 14, 2009*
Matthew 5: 31-32
“You have heard the law that says, ‘A man can divorce his wife by merely giving her a written notice of divorce.’ But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.
Divorce is as hurtful and destructive today as in Jesus' day. God intends marriage to be a lifetime commitment (Genesis 2: 24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.)
When entering into marriage, people should never consider divorce as an option for solving problems or a way out of a relationship that seems dead. In these verses, Jesus is also attacking those who purposefully abuse the marriage contract, using divorce to satisfy their lustful desires to marry someone else.
Are your actions today helping your marriage grow stronger?, or are you tearing it apart?
Father, You designed marriage. It is a holy union and covenant we enter into with our spouse and with You.
A strand of three isn't easily broken! (A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiates 4:12) We want You to be in the center of our families. The strength of our marriages.
And our hope for the future. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you!
