I was noticing the other day on social media that far too many of my friends were getting remarried or have split up and were in new relationships.  This is sad to me.  What happened to the day when marriage was for life?  I don’t mean that we decide that the life of the marriage is over.

People no longer see marriage as a sacred vow before God.  It has become nearly useless in the minds of the post Christian era that we live in today.  Look at the words of Scripture in Genesis 2:24, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”  The word “cleave” means literally to weld together.  That is a bond that is not easily broken.

Again, Jesus quotes Genesis 2:24 in Matthew 19:5, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?”  We are to leave our parents and begin to live on our own and take care of our mate.  We are to be welded together into one flesh.  We are to voluntarily give ourselves to the other and we thus become one.

Few things in this world last forever.  The soul of man is one that will live on forever and ever somewhere.  You and I need to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ and cleave to Him.  When we trust Him as Saviour we are “welded”; if you will, to Him and nobody can take us from Him.  Put your faith and trust in Him today.

So, how are you doing?
