September 05 Genesis 2:23-25 Genesis 2:23, “The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man.” What do you think of this? How did man treat woman in the beginning? This is a very sensitive issue. How does a man treat a woman? Well, it is definitely seen in the Bible and specifically seen over here. Adam said that she is a part of me. And she was literally a part of Adam. She came from his bones and his flesh. He was very pure in his thinking. He did not think of her as a slave, or a mistress, or an acquaintance to be used. He thought of her as a lifelong companion, to be thanked, and appreciated, and loved, and cared for and seen as a great person. She is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. He saw her as God intended her to be seen. Living amongst God’s people I have seen this. Where men learn how to see ladies as precious princesses, and where ladies learn how to see men as princes, it is hard, because there is so much evil in this world. Persons now a days are influenced by the divorce culture. They don’t like someone so they through them away, and forget about them. God hates divorce, he looks at it as non-sense and breaking of a covenant, that he has made. Malachi 2: 15 “Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. a]">[a] So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. 16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel,” Genesis 2: 24 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” God is God. He is the one who brings these two people together. He does it. And they have no right to divorce. Within the last 50 years the divorce rate has gone up so much and people have just trashed their marriages as it was their right to do so. To fight this it is time to study the Bible and see what God sees of it. It is time to see the Holy and Heavenly Father and time to see God involved in this. This is a very, very sensitive issue to young people and old people alike, but they really must cling to God and be careful to guard their hearts of what is coming their way. So many young people do not know that they are created by God and made in God’s image but it is time to go deeper into the Word of God and to see what God would have them to do in this setting. It is very important that the teens get the Word of God into their hearts so that they can see what to do in what situations. Leaving mommy and clinging to God is a very beautiful thing. Such a very, very beautiful thing. But one must be filled with the Word of God before they can ever do that. God must appear into their lives. Adam felt so good. Why? Because God was giving him so much attention. Doesn’t the Word of God give us so much attention as well. It sure does. The word of God gives us so, so much attention. It addresses all our needs, and when we know that, and then know it in specifics, then we can go on and move out of our parents housing and move in with a completely different person from one who we are accustomed too and go on our merry way and be a part of God’s wonderful glory. (I am in Florida, 1334 miles away from Chicago, my home, and raising 4 kids, and a wife, I can assure you, this role is intense. It is hard, and so many times I am discouraged, but God is big, I am weak but he is so, so strong, he can do it all) 25 “The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.” What a beautiful and great relationship. No walls, no competition, just something that is really and great, it is so beautiful. So wonderful and lovely. No bars held back. Who looks to our society for the answers? Some questions can be answered by society. But not the questions of marriage. God can answer those questions. He is God and he can do it. So if someone wants to get married, read the Bible 2 times, believe it and then marry TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://gideonsherwin.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1463AF61A05F74D!639.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
