Thought 147
“Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” (Mark 10:9 NIV)
Mere men and women should not separate what God has joined together and disobedience to God’s Word requires correction, just like disobedience to earthly parents requires punishment. Because men and women are not honoring the fact that God has joined them together families are being broken, children are being left fatherless, hearts are being broken, and people are selfishly following their own “needs” instead of God today.
Are you the victim of a divorced family? Do you want to be the victimizer of another? Hopefully not! Dear friend, we must acknowledge what God has done: joining marriages for life. May we obey lest we reap the lasting consequences of our hastily sown seed of divorce in this country.
Think about this today:
Before a man and woman marry, one important block to lay in their relationship is the fact that they will never separate the bond that God created between them.
They say this in their vows, but won’t live it without true commitment, that is, true love (1 Cor. 13).
