"For in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28)

Marriage


The Best Part of Life
This material appears courtesy of Bibleplace

Do you fill your  time with work and chores? Holding Onto The Best Part
"Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much SERVING, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary HATH CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART, which shall not be taken away from her."    Luke 11:38-42

In this passage of scripture we can see how Martha was entrenched in her worries about daily chores. On the other hand, Mary decided to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to his words of comfort and life. Jesus answered Martha's complaint by shewing her that Mary had chosen the best part.

Many times we fill our time with work, chores, friends, children and the many other things that this world has to offer. In doing so, we often neglect the two most important things that life has to offer:

  1. Our relationship with Jesus.
  2. Our relationship with our Spouse.

There is nothing in life that can compare with the joy of a fulfilling relationship with Jesus and our Spouse. You can try to replace it with money, children, relatives, and all that this world has to offer. However, I'm mighty afraid that you will find that it doesn't equal out.

You may ask why. Think about this. God created Man and Woman at the same time. They were linked together from creation.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM; MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM. And God blessed THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."   Genesis 1:26-28

"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and THERE WAS NOT A MAN TO TILL THE GROUND. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."    Genesis 2:4-7
