“See!” he said to all the people. “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.” Joshua 24:27. The last words of Joshua---do not follow foreign gods. Even the rocks have heard your testimony. Joshua's face was set like a flint determined to guide the people to the Captain of their Soul and no other.
The Living Word! Some of us end up in marriages that we would not have chosen had we not been swept away by the moments of our youth ~ #nofavorintheireyes. Deut 24:1. Maybe it was the Providential Hand of God that He placed you in the marriage you are in---like Hosea, who married beneath him. Maybe it is our own sinful choices, lustful choices, even ignorant choices that landed us where we lay our heads this night. Don't bring sin upon your family ~ Deut 24:4. Whether it's Providence or our own sin, we all have opportunity to bear our own burdens rather than give in to sin. We can find a rest we know not, no matter the circumstance. God's Divine Power enables us by Grace Upon Grace to sanctify the crosses we bear. God's Matchless Grace supports us---Underneath are His Loving Arms. God's Comforting Spirit teaches and reproves and provides the way for us to better learn how to obey in the midst of distance and difficulties. God will make this marraige more tolerable---He changes us, not just our spouse. We have the Written Word of God. We worship the Living Word!
