Nehemiah 13:26
Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Thu, Dec. 9, SINFUL MARRIAGE (Neh. 13:26). A marriage is beautiful, created and recommended by God. But, it doesn’t mean that a marriage would always be pleasing God. S marriage could be displeasing God too. How?
1. Many women.
If marriage is done with more than 1 woman, the marriage would be displeasing God.
2. Foreign women.
A marriage should be done with a believer. Since long time ago, God had decreed that a marriage had to be done with the believer only. Abraham sent his servant to his hometown to find a woman to marry for Isaac. A marriage should not be done with the gentiles.
3. Unsupportive women.
A wife could be very destructive nad derogative to a husband. She could mislead the husband. Just as the wives of Solomon. They misled him to worship other gods. Yet, God loved him. May God forgive our sins and help us to be holy in marriage. ASH.
