Mark 10:2-3 (NKJV) 2 The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him. 3 And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"
Recently someone cried, "Thats against the law," when a Bible was read, how convenient to use man made laws to avoid the conviction of God's Holy Word. Man has a moral compass, that tool we call a conscience, is the internal instrument of God's grace that keeps us seeking Him. We can and do hinder the work of the conscience in our lives by deliberately ignoring and suppressing its affects on our spirit.
Jesus is questioned about the choices of men to get rid of inconveniences in our lives, the Creator reminds us, that is not the will of God. "What God has joined together, let not man separate." Mark 10:9 (NKJV) The Giver of life has a plan marriage is part of that plan, anything in this life worth doing has difficulty built in, thats what makes us mature and grow more like Christ.
Is it lawful, only if God says it is.
Heavenly Father help us to look carefully at your Word, help us to discern your Will, keep us in The Way. May we always look to you and forget the will of men. Amen
