God’s Word for Today - 19 Apr 2024
Malachi 2:15 KJV — And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 19 Apr 2024
The human spirit is steeped in rebellion due to the adamic nature of being descended from Adam and Eve. Unredeemed and unreformed, this spirit seeks to dominate human behaviour despite divine injuctions to be different and to submit to Christ to be transformed. One area in which this is obvious is the very high divorce rate in society, including among those who claim to follow Jesus. In spite of Christ’s teaching many followers find it convenient to disobey God in this very crucial matter of safeguarding the marital union. For Jehovah divorce is never an option because it destroys the very essence of the family that God has established. Jesus made this very plain so that those who love God may know how to navigate this matter that is so important to Jehovah. Take heed not to be on the wrong side of God by dealing treacherously with your spouse.
Pray: Heavenly Father, give me the grace that You alone can give to overcome the desire to divorce and to forgive instead. #Mok
