Divorce!

Isaiah 3: 8            KJV

And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce…

I guess I should have seen this verse by now, or at the very least remember reading it.

I read it again last night, and I couldn’t believe that God had at a time, divorced His own people.

What these people did must have been pretty serious for God to take such drastic action.

In their backslidden and adulterous condition, God put His own people away.

If God would divorce His people that He loves so much, what is He willing to do with a country that seemingly has turned their back on Him?

In the last 100 years, the U.S. has considered and moved toward the following:

We removed prayer & the Bible from all Public schools…

We put to death over 50 million babies…

We’ve removed the Ten Commandments from all Public buildings…

We’ve sanctified same sex marriage and unions…

I wonder if God was so willing to enter into divorce, would this disqualify Him from being a Pastor in the Southern Baptist Conference?

Divorce isn’t the issue here, but holiness is.

We all know that God hates divorce, but what He hates more is our sinful condition.

Every day I have to go before my God, and get my blemishes cleansed.

I also understand that I most likely have more of an issue with sin, than most people have.

If I ever plan to be the Bride of Christ, then I need to get some things right, in advance of the wedding ceremony…
