Marriage

We as wives have been given great power, to bless and be supportive of our man. Why else would that mischievous snake have gone to Eve in the Garden of Eden, unless he knew this to be true? We can do a better job than Eve, ladies.

That Snake

11/21/2013

In his video series, I Kissed Dating Good-bye, Joshua Harris makes a case for young people to fight to protect their sexual purity. He talks about King David giving in to the temptation to commit adultery with Bathsheba. Mr. Harris points out that the only way this happened was for David to do the very first thing he should not have done. The very first thing was, he should have been off at war with the other whoop-up-on-bad-guys warrior types. But he was lazing at home. Then more steps after that. But that was the very first step. David was not where he should have been.

Maybe we can apply the same concept to Eve and therefore ourselves. She should not have been talking to that naughty snake in the first place. That snake was contradicting her husband. That snake was questioning God. "Did God really say that?" is the argument Satan used with her. And it is the argument he still uses with us.

If there is someone in your life who is contradicting your husband, or questioning God's word, run away. Distance yourself from that person. Or call them out on it if you prayerfully decide the Lord would have that, and give them a chance to shape up (Matthew 18).

Whoever is doing this to you, will someday be gone. Friends and even family can come and go. I don't care who they are, how compelling their arguments are, or what fits they pitch. We made a commitment and took a vow to our husbands. Don't let anyone get you distracted from that. Our loyalty lies with Almighty God and our husbands.
