Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-19

Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Being one is something all couples need to work at. We need to be in unity. We need to be on the same page.

If two people who are together are thinking or operating on a separate page, they are off. In other words, they don’t see eye to eye on things.

When we don’t agree on something, we shouldn’t just give up. We don’t just throw in the towel. We don’t start putting the other person down, or discrediting them around others. We don’t disrespect them just because we don’t agree on something.

What do we do then? We work that much harder to get on the same page.

Have we ever noticed when we are not together on something what kind of fruit it produces? There is anger, hurt feelings and disappointment.

When we separate from each other like this, it affects our whole relationship.

Being together in unity, being joined as one in everything is vital in a relationship.

This does not mean we will not have differences of opinion. It simply means that when we do, we need to work that much harder at coming together regarding whatever the difference may be. We need to work it out and learn from each other. We need to help each other.

Don’t run from it. Put the time and effort aside and work together in making it what it needs to be.

Ask God for help in your marriage/relationship. Ask Him to help you stay in unity with each other, with Him as the Head of your relationship.

Be sure to put the time aside and make every effort to work things out. Take it very seriously.

Your relationship is worth everything. Be sure to treat it that way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-18

Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…

I’ve been a husband for over 35 years. And I have loved every moment of it.

During those 35+ years I have learned a few things about the responsibilities of being a good husband and what God wants husbands to do. I didn’t learn these things by my own intelligence or wisdom. God has taught them to me.

First, anyone can be a husband. All they need to do is find a woman and marry them. That’s it. They are now a husband.

But, being a good husband is a whole other story. So, let’s talk about that.

God has told us that to be a good husband, we need to love our wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. That’s a pretty tall order.

Loving our wife the way Christ loved the church means that we put her first, before ourselves. It means that we treat her with respect and honor. It means that we don’t treat them as a piece of property.

It also means that we don’t look at them as a prized possession or a trophy to be paraded before our friends and family. We treat them as a blessing from God, not as a showcase piece.

If our wife is beautiful, then we thank God for her beauty. We don’t flaunt it before others in inappropriate photos. We don’t parade them in front of other men as a status symbol. We don’t smile as other men ogle them, knowing that they can look but not touch.

We protect the sanctity of their love for us by acting as their covering. It’s hard to do this if we’re more concerned with impressing our friends than we are with the welfare of our wife.

In these days of social media, it’s important that we be careful with what we post when it comes to our wife. We may be awestruck with their beauty, but parading it before the world only makes them look like objects of our pride on display.

This might seem like a bit of an odd message to some, but it’s extremely relevant and timely for the day and age that we live in.

Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-18

Ephesians 5:22-27 (NKJV) 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

As the body is under Christ, so is the wife under the husband. So it’s important that wives submit to their husbands out of respect and love, recognizing them as the protector and leader of the home.

Likewise, husbands love your wives selflessly, as Christ loved the church. Love them in a way that emulates Christ, being willing to lay your life down for her.

The loving example and strong leadership of the husband demonstrates the love that God has for us. And as the husband lives out and shares the word of God in the home, he creates an environment whereby his wife will also be washed by the water of God’s word, giving her the opportunity to be made clean and sanctified.

These verses show how marriage is truly symbolic of Christ and us, His bride.

More to come…
