God is a Witness

Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Mal 2:14


Just recently, I heard a sad story of a failed marriage. After more than 30 years of marriage, children, and grandchildren a husband left his wife claiming, "he never loved her!" Well that's hard to believe isn't it? So many men never grow up. They are so incredibly selfish and no nothing of the cross. Love has more to do with the character of the one who loves and not the worthiness of the object of our affections. God loves us not for our worthiness but because of who He is. Become more like Him. Be ye holy; for I am Holy(1 Ptr 1:16).


We're reminded here, we're warned here, that God is a witness to the covenant we have with our wife. She is the wife of our youth. There should be no do overs with who we marry. It is a covenant that we should nurture and protect. Fight for it. God can and wants to bless us through the wife of our youth.


Look men, if we are honest, we know that if anyone got a raw deal, it's our wives.


Rev. Joe Greive said,"...until God by death shall separate us or until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."



Amen
