Jan 28 - Pharaoh Demands Miracles

Moses and Aaron continue to confront Pharaoh and do the things God is telling them. He throws his staff down in front of Pharaoh and it turns into a snake. Pharaoh's magicians do the same. He turns the Nile to blood and the Magicians turn water to blood also so Pharaohs heart is still hard and he refuses to let the Israelites go.........oh boy is he in for a whoooping over the next few readings as God brings his fist down on Egypt!

In Matthew Jesus talks about marriage in Gods eyes. I think now a days marriage is taken all to lightly. "Haven't you read the Scriptures?" Jesus replied. "They record that from the beginning God made them male and female. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together."

The Pharisees ask "Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery-unless his wife has been unfaithful." Don't shoot the messenger......

You know what's funny is that when Boo and I first got married and we would bump into people they would see us so in love they would say "Oh newlyweds give it a few years" As if a few years later we would be hating each other. Well it's been 3 and 1/2 years and I still love my wife as much as a man could! Sure it's a lot of work and we have our struggles but not once will divorce be an option. It won't even tempt our hearts as option as long as we continue to keep God first in our lives.....that's how I see it:)
