Love in the Home

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 07-26-03

 

My Worship Time                                                                  Focus:  Love in the Home

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  Hebrews 13:4

 

            Message of the verse:  “4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.”  (NASB)  “Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage.  God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.”  (NLT)

            The writer now moves to love at home, and what better way can this be shown that in a proper marriage between one man and one woman.  Marriage in today’s society is under attack from the evil one as same sex marriages are being talked about as if it were a natural thing to do, and even the supreme court, (what a contrast in terms) has gone against God’s Law in recent weeks judging it okay for homosexual acts.  God says that He is the One who is the True Supreme Ruler and He will judge men and women for these acts against God and His Law.  There is no room for adultery in a marriage and continued acts of this type will result in judgment form the Lord. 

            A good marriage results in a good family, and that is like a bit of heaven on earth.

 

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  Reading this verse brings back some painful memories to me, and I am thankful for the grace and forgiveness of God, and for His love in giving me a wonderful faithful wife.

 

The Word of God was convicting and challenging to my heart as I read it over this morning.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  By the grace of God to be a good husband to my wife.
