GETTING THE BEST IN MARRIAGE (PART III)
Judges 9: 8-15; Psalm 144:11-15; Song of Solomon 6:8-13
Nothing exists for its own sake. The sun is to give light and warmth (Psalm 84:11), the herbs provide food for man (Hebrew 6:7), every creature of God is created to give and provide services in a peculiar sense. The best giver in nature is the earth; it is interesting to know also that the best receiver is the same earth! Ecclesiastes 3:20.
Our Lord Jesus said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you… Luke 6:38. Marriage is the beautiful creation of God, where vast opportunities are provided: to give and receive. Receiving alone is burdensome and we never forget that giving in itself is a blessing! Acts 20:35.
Before marriage is sought, it is important to understand that growth, maturity, fruit bearing and service are basic necessities that will support, sustain and sweeten the marriage. Psalm 144:12. These responsibilities lie on both party involved in the marriage deal.
