JUST AND UPRIGHT ??? HE WILL MEET YOU THERE.

AND HER PROMISED HUSBAND JOSEPH,BEING A JUST AND UPRIGHT MAN AND NOT WILLING TO EXPOSE HER PUBLICLY AND TO SHAME AND DISGRACE HER,DECIDED TO REPUDIATE AND DISMISS (DIVORCE)HER QUIETLY AND SECRETLY. BUT AS HE WAS THINKING THIS OVER,BEHOLD,AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM IN A DREAM,SAYING,JOSEPH,DESCENDANT OF DAVID,DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE MARY AS YOUR WIFE,FOR THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS OF (FROM OUT OF) THE HOLY SPIRIT.(MATTHEW CHAPTER 1:VERSES 19 AND 20) Oh my goodness,oh my goodness,so much to be learned from this passage.Of course it is from the story of Jesus birth.How God himself has a perfect plan and yet man wants to interfere with it,doing what he thinks is noble. In this case this man was a noble ,upright man who wished to do things in a respectful way.He told no one,yet God knew his heart. God sent that awesome angel to stop him,and explain what was actually going on.Joseph obeyed Gods wishes and did as he was told.Today i want to pick from this, a few tidbits of importance. #1. Have a pure and humble heart towards God.Read your Bible and learn of Him.#2.Pray,be in contact with the lord.listen to and obey the Holy Spirit,because it is the Spirit of the one and only living God.#3. Do this even if your intentions are good.#4.Do not divorce before taking it sincerely before the lord. I realize this is a bit of a different take from this story than most have heard.Yet i've lived through marital issues,did what i thought i had to do,just to realize that God had better ideas. A much better plan.I have proven to be weak in this area over the years,and guess where the first area of my life he attacks? (always is my home!Someone out their is planning divorce this morning. I pray before you go through with it,you spend countless hours before the throne of God's grace about this subject. Why? Because you are about to shakeup,rock the ship,abandon God's plan for your life,in a way you cannot even imagine.God can fix your marriage,but you have to be right with Him first.I am not judging anyone,i have immense experience in this area.I feel your pain.Wife,you cannot change your Husband! Husband you cannot change your wife.But ,The Almighty can change you,and this will cause an earthquake in your home that no man can handle.Regardless of the outcome,your soul can be at rest,and God will open your heart to see His perfect will for you.Before you mess it up.Can God still use you? Oh yes,even in a mighty way unknown to you. He invented marriage,never forget that. He only allows divorce because of the hardness of our hearts.When the pressure to do something is great,almost unbearable,Run fast to Christ,to his alter,He will meet you there. MY PRAYER: FATHER FORGIVE ME SO MUCH FOR GIVING UP TO SOON.WHILE I AM YET HUMAN,THE MOST SATISFYING,MOST PEACEFUL,AND JOYFUL PLACE IS AT YOUR FEET,HOLDING ON TO YOUR GARMENT AND BEGGING YOU TO NEVER LEAVE ME.(AMEN)We may leave our spouses,but Jesus is always faithful,no matter what.God bless you all,and thnx for reading my blog.
