Wouldn’t it be encouraging to you if what you wanted with
your marriage was what God wanted?
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you and God were “on the same page”
about your marriage? Wouldn’t it be
strengthening to you to hear God’s voice about all this? Well, be encouraged, joyful, and
strengthened.
God created marriage and He has spoken about it. God first created Adam but saw that he needed
a mate.
“The Lord God said,
‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for
him.’” Genesis 2:18 “Therefore
a man will leave his father and his mother, and will cling to his wife: and
they will be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24
God created Eve to be Adam’s wife. So since God created marriage, why would He want
to see one destroyed? He wouldn’t, so
doing so is against His will. In fact,
Jesus spoke about this in the Gospel of Matthew.
“I hate divorce,” says
the LORD God of Israel. “I hate the person who covers himself with violence,”
says the LORD of Armies. “Be careful not to be unfaithful.” Malachi 2:16
Jesus confirmed His Father's words.
Haven't you
read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male
and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no
longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not
separate." Matthew 19:4-6
These are powerful statements from God about marriage. He “hates” divorce and wants marriages to
thrive, not be dismantled.
You probably have read these verses before so you likely know
God’s position on marriage and divorce.
But with knowledge about how God feels about something brings
power. That power comes in the power of
prayer. Jesus taught us this when He
prayed “Your will be done.” Matthew 6:10. Jesus was teaching us to pray in God’s will.
Since we know God’s will about marriage (and divorce), we
can be confident that when we pray for our marriages to be restored, we are praying
in God’s will. Just like Jesus taught
us. When we do, you and God are on the
same page. I believe it is that simple.
Be blessed.

Praying in alignment with GOD's word is powerful. Even more so when we realise that GOD's word will never return void. Good word Dan, keep abiding in the only true Vine.As you can see I have my own blog now. At the moment just posting some of my musings you have already read.
