What to do:
Remember, two is the number of division; three is
the number of completion. If all you have is a husband
and a wife, you have division. When you add God to
the husband and wife, you have completion.

The story of Lot and his wife is truly one of the sad
truths we find in Gods Word.
The tale of Lot and his wife all began in Genesis 13
when the herdsmen of Lot and Abraham were at strife. So
Abraham, being the gentleman he was, let Lot choose which
way he and his herds and herdsmen would go; and Abraham
and all of his would go in the opposite direction.
There were three steps that led Lot and Mrs. Lot to
Sodom. Step One: Genesis 13:10, They looked toward
Sodom. Step Two: Genesis 13:11, They journeyed toward
Sodom. Step Three: Genesis 13:12, They pitched their tent
toward Sodom.
What to do:

Ahasuerus
Most everyone knows the story of Queen Esther and
how she was chosen by the king to be his bride because of her
beauty. We know of the conflict between Haman and
Mordecai, and how Mordecai, Esthers uncle, had her
intercede for all the Jewish people with King Ahasuerus. No
doubt Esther was a part of Gods plan for his people for such a
time as this. It was no accident that she was the kings
sweetheart.
Oftentimes it is not the faith of both sweethearts that
see them through difficult times, but the faith in God of just
one of them that makes a difference for all. This certainly
would have been one of those times where ones faith could
easily fail.
A man fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb
on the way down. The following conversation ensued:
Is anyone up there?
I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe me?
Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I cant hold
on much longer.
Thats all right, if you really believe you have nothing
to worry about. I will save you. Just let go of the branch.
A moment of pause, then: Is anyone else up there?
Praise God Esther didnt say is anyone else up there!!
If you married in Gods will then God has you where He wants
you for such a time as this. So have faith in God.
What to do:
Remember, faith in God never fails.

Unusual Sweethearts
February 21
whoredoms
model wife and mother? We can certainly hope so, but you
have to admit that they were unusual sweethearts.
When Irving S. Olds was chairman of the U.S. Steel
Corporation, he arrived for a stockholders meeting and was
confronted by a woman who asked, Exactly who are you and
what do you do? Without batting an eye, Olds replied, I am
your chairman. Of course, you know the duties of a chairman
thats someone who is roughly the equivalent of parsley on a
platter of fish.
This is about how useful Gomer was in her marriage
with Hosea; but, of course, the book of Hosea is not about
Gomers unfaithfulness -- its about Gods faithfulness. So
remember when all is not well in your life and in your
marriage, God is faithful when others arent.
What to do:
When all is not well in your
marriage, remember Hosea.
What to do:
Strive and ask God to help you make your marriage
all He wants it to be.

Interesting Sweethearts

Elisabeth
Zacharias and Elisabeth was an interesting couple.
First, they were both righteous before God (verse 6). Second,
they, like Abraham and Sarah, had no children and were past
their child-bearing years (verse 7). Third, Zacharias was the
High Priest. Fourth, they were born in the town of Abrahams
dwelling, Hebron. Fifth, Elisabeth was the cousin of Mary,
the mother of Jesus. Last of all, through a miracle of God,
Elisabeth birthed John the Baptist, the forerunner to Jesus.
The thing I find truly interesting about the couple is that they
had no selfish aims or ambitions...only to live pleasing to God.
They truly understood only what was done for God would last.
A farmers daughter was carrying her pail of milk from
the field to the farmhouse, when she fell a-musing. The
money for which this milk will be sold, will buy at least three
hundred eggs. The eggs, allowing for all mishaps, will
produce two hundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will
become ready for the market when poultry will fetch the
highest price, so that by the end of the year I shall have
enough money from my share to buy a new gown. In this
dress I will go to the Christmas parties, where all the young
fellows will propose to me, but I will toss my head and refuse
them every one. At this moment she tossed her head in
unison with her thoughts, when down fell the milk pail to the
ground, and all her imaginary schemes perished in a moment.
So it is with our lives as well. Remember, only whats done for
Christ will last.
What to do:
Remember, Ive never met the couple that comes to
the end of life that has ever regretted putting God first.
