Blogging Through The Gospels, Matthew 19

I Do, Or Don’t I?

Scripture:

“And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."  Matthew 19:9

Observation:

Divorce is only allowed for one reason.

Application:

In our society, people don’t apply this at all.

Marriage is an easy in and easy out. “God wants me to be happy” they say. No. God wants us to obey.

I have never experienced this problem in my marriage, but I can only imagine how crushing it would be. There is a reason God gives us this exit from our vows. It is the ultimate betrayal.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank you for the wonderful man you placed in my life. Thank you for his faithfulness to You and to me. I pray that this country turns back toward You, and can begin to live in a Godly manner.
