Relationship Talk -- Scriptures NOT Culture

in #relationship6 years ago (edited)

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I want you to know that culture is not just the way of life. It is also what is acceptable and practiced in a place. Some things are acceptable in a particular environment and it is agreed to be how they will grow.

The culture around us says "you don't need God to find your partner, you need to find your partner yourself" and it is funny because they saw it in scriptures that....

Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

So the mindset of people is that they don't need God to help them find their partners. They just need to use their human wisdom to pick whosoever they love and they feel once I have feelings for the person and we love ourselves then it is enough.

But I feel the word "find" is not well understood by people and that's why they feel they don't need God to help them "find" a partner.

They believe that they have brains enough to know who their wives or husbands should be. But that's wrong and this is something most people take in today and it's becoming more of a culturally thing.

We must not come to a point in our lives where we feel we don't need God, we're so independent of Him. It's suicide!

Let's see what Jesus call or have to say about "finding" because culture has taught many that you don't have to involve God in your choice of finding. But I'll show you a more an excellent way that makes finding beautiful...

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

We see Jesus saying that when you SEEK, you'll FIND and this means when you seek God for help concerning the matter of a right partner you'll find and then he assured us more efficiently that;

7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Let me quickly tell you that you can find what God kept.

You still have to find a husband or wife yourself. You have to use godly wisdom in determining whether or not they're a godly person. And whether or not they're right for you. You can't assume that someone was sent to you by God. People make terrible mistakes that way.

And that is why we will surely need to intercede for God's direction on it.

Thanks for stopping by.
