It amazes me that he Lord knows our weaknesses and warns us, yet we still manage to mess up, and yet He still has plans through it all to keep us and bring us to Himself.

Society seems to be coming to pieces at the seams more and more and "anything goes". Moral is laughed at and God's word ridiculed. I have never been more convinced that we need to be different, nomatter how people may react. God's way is the only way. Thank you for a great post. God bless.

Praise God for His mercy, sparing you ...Dear Frank,<br />Praise God for His mercy, sparing you from what could have been a lifetime of misery, although I'm sure you were heartbroken at the time. Not only did God prevent you from disobeying His Word, but in His grace, and in His perfect timing, he later sent you your perfect soulmate! Our former (late) pastor once told the true story of a nice young man, a well-to-do believer with a good job, well-liked and respected in the community, who fell in love with an unsaved, beautiful, cocaine addict. He was convinced he could lead her to the Lord, so he married her, despite our pastor's counsel not to, and that of everyone else. Soon thereafter he dropped out of church, and when the pastor came to visit, he found the young man disheveled, strung out, trash everywhere, dirty dishes, etc, with his bride nowhere to be found. Far from reforming her, much less leading her to the Lord, he had fallen into her drug habit and had lost his job. He died not long after of an overdose, and although with the Lord, what a wasted life and testimony all from disobeying God's clear instruction.<br />Thanks as always for sharing your experience and Biblical perspective, and God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-82704593395128116762017-01-22T09:12:59.268-08:002017-01-22T09:12:59.268-08:00Dear Laurie,

That is a different woman for each night for nearly three years. So over forty years, the agreed duration of his reign by scholars, a thousand wives and concubines is certainly not out of his range of possibilities.<br />With Solomon being seduced by unbelieving pagans: I have a story which may be relevant here. Back in 1974 I, a Christian believer, was engaged to an unbeliever and a date of the wedding was set, despite my friends in church warning me that as a true believer I shouldn't marry her, basing their warning on 2 Corinthians 6:14. However, they gave me their blessing when I told them that after marriage I'll be able to convert her.<br />Shortly before the wedding she suddenly dumped me, after deciding that she did not love me enough for a lifelong commitment. I was terribly upset at the time, but now I could see the mercy of God's grace.<br />An excellent post, God bless.Frank E.

Much better to listen to God through the mind of Christ that we share in, when we are part of the body of Christ on earth (the church), than the enemy that has invaded the carnal mind.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.com
