BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When couples break solemn vows—unless they repent with every ounce of their hearts—trust is broken. Put it down big, straight, and plain: People who treat sex lightly will also treat other human beings lightly.
No society can long endure that takes a loose view of sex. It’s the sin that led to the downfall of Greece, Rome, Egypt and Babylon. Immorality is the enemy of the home and the enemy of the home is the enemy of the nation. Immorality and impurity cause us to sin against society itself. My heart was grieved to read that in Washington D.C., the capitol of the so-called greatest nation on earth, there were more children born out of wedlock than were born in wedlock. That should cause us to fall on our face and weep before Almighty God.
ACTION POINT:
Are you married? Tell your spouse today of your love and faithful commitment to him or her.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
