God Joined
"God has joined those two people together. So no person
should separate them."
-- Mark 10:9 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
God has the power to make two people one. Marriage is not about a
wedding, but about a man and a woman entering into a covenant
relationship with God. God is the greater party in the covenant. The
man and the woman give their highest allegiance and commitment to God
when they marry. There will be times when their spouse will
unfortunately disappoint them or let them down. But, God wants them to
remember that their highest priority is not treating their spouse as he
or she deserves, but as God would have them be treated. Honoring God in
the way they treat each other is the key to marriage as God sees it.
God wants husbands and wives to understand that breaking a marriage
apart is an offense against God -- he is the one who makes couples one
and the one with whom they enter into covenant relationship. God hates
covenants made with him to be broken.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, please give your people a deeper appreciation of what it means
to enter into covenant with you when they marry. I worry about all the
money we spend on wedding ceremonies when there is so little
appreciation for the covenant relationship that begins when a couple is
married. Help me, O God, to be a covenant-keeper and a person who
encourages others to be loyal to you and the covenants they make with
you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
