Thought 233
God Orchestrates in the
Affairs of Men
I
don’t want to steal any phrases when I say this, because many have said similar
things, but how does a man or woman know that their spouse is the “One”? Is it
some subconscious evolutionary drive? Is it some animal like instinct and
desire that is simply there for the furtherance of the human race? Is just
because that person is ‘pleasing to our eye’? NO! God is the one who told them
that who was the one. How do some men grow up always having a “crush” on their
future bride and no one else? The answer is, God. God, brought Eve to Adam—God
“set it up.” Waiting on the Lord is the
best option, and Isaiah 30:19-26 promises that HE will direct us.
Just because God is sovereign does not mean that we don’t have a
free will. Our choices can be against God’s will.
Now, people take different approaches to pre-marriage relationships.
Some will foolishly flaunt themselves around and just date anyone that there
heart desires. Others, which I believe choose the better way, decide to save
even their first kiss and moments alone together till their wedding day. Only
God can give a couple the power to do such things; on the other hand, anybody
can ask someone out and follow-their-heart. I purpose that you choose the
Biblical way. God has been teaching me what His Word says about romance and He
has a lot to say! As God has been lining up conversations for me to share some
of His Word on this topic, few appear to have a change of heart. Only two of
the many young men I’ve shared with on this issue have appeared to change their
view.
Take heart! You were born at the exact moment
that God had ordained and predestined you to enter into this world of wonder!
God loves you; and if you haven’t ever received your letter of admittance into
heaven because of Jesus Sacrifice (and no work of your own), I pray that you
fall on your knees right now, tossing aside this wretched book and cry out to
God to save your soul from the encompassing flames of Hell.
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved. 10For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation. 11For the
scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and
the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:9-13 KJV
GOD IS
SOVEREIGN AND ORCHASTRATES THE
LIVES OF
MEN AND WOMEN.
…
FOR HIS
GLORY
