DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 4-5; Micah 7; Romans 12

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. – Matthew 19:6

The world often views marriage as a civil contract that can be broken easily by either party. Jesus said it is much more than that. Marriage is a union established by God and witnessed by God. It is to be maintained inviolate until death terminates the relationship. This is for the good and happiness of man. Children need both parents and the security that a loving marriage can provide. If you are married, renew your vows today to one another. Determine to be faithful and loyal to one another. This is the will of God. —Donald L. Norbie

Lord beloved, I would ponder, breadth and length and depth and height,
Of Thy love’s eternal wonder, all embracing, infinite.
—Amy Carmichael
