"Being Holy"

Scripture Reading:    

Hebrews 13:4 (HCSBO)  Marriage must be respected by all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled.

 

Devotion And Meditation:

When two people marry, each spouse becomes "holy" to the other by way of "holy matrimony."  This means that no other person is supposed to enjoy this level of commitment and endearment other than you.  You share physical intimacy, establish a home, and bear your children with this person.  Your heart, your possessions, and your life become bonded with this one individual.  The word holy, actually forms the basis for honor-the very reason why we give respect and high regard to our spouse.  To say your mate should be holy to you doesn't mean that they are perfect.  Holiness means they are set apart for a higher purpose-no longer common or everyday but special and unique.  A person who has become holy to you has a place no one can rival in your heart.  They are sacred to you, a person to be honored, praised, and defended.  That should be a fitting description of your beloved.  Silvia and I have raised our children together, brought them up in the "fear of the Lord", never abandoned our calling to them or one another.  She is more than just the mother of my children, she is my partner, my love, my best friend and my first field of ministry.  Showing her grace and dressing her in holiness is commanded by Scripture.  When individuals attack her they attack the shepherd; when they attack the shepherd they blaspheme the Lord's anointed and give the devil a presence in the Body of believers.

 

Win or lose, I want to make sure that I make God's name great
