Find Favor From God

Proverbs 18:22

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord."

Matthew 19:3-6 - "The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

God wants to give favor to marriages today.  However, if the matrimonies are not raised and built on the Word of God, they cannot stand.  The Bible is meant for all.  And all are to be properly trained by our parents to succeed in life.  We can see our world today and understand the condition.  Because we were not trained up to love God and each other.  When God looks down on our earth and sees all these fleshly relationships being formed on lust, He chastises us for our actions and we find all other reasons to separate.  So, we're building sin on top of sin.  God says, we perish for lack of knowledge.  He has birthed a family down here on earth.  But we have turned it into a play ground.  Leaving us to reap a very bad ending in all we do.  We cannot play with these demons.  Because they will always give you your hearts desire when it comes to sinning against God.  God gives us guidelines, laws and commandments to stick to.  Then our relationships will grow and continue in love.  He says, we are sisters and brothers here on earth.  If we are going from relationship to relationship, marriage to marriage.  We are committing spiritual incest.  Both man and woman are to first have a solid relationship with God.  Then when they join together, they will continue to be building on the Rock of Salvation.  Romans 8:1-8, 12-14 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,  that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.  For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.  So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God." ..."Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.  For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."  Take your relationships serious and put an end to your fleshly desires and find favor from God.

James 1:13-15 - "Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death."

Blessings to all who find favor to build our relationships,
