KEEPING YOUR HOME

There are things King Lemuel wrote in Proverbs 31, things that his mother taught him that remain relevant to us today.

Proverbs 31:2
 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

The man ought to be strong, focused and not easily distracted.

Proverbs 31:3-4
Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

Avoid strange women and run away from addictions e. g.  Alcohol.

The man earns, he make a living, Adam was not given a wife first, he had his work first.

The woman, the helper, she is not a threat to her husband.

Proverbs 31:12
 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

These are the basic standards of the family. The children come, they don't destroy the status quo, they should solidify it. Selah

Families should understand that when a man and woman come together a new creation has evolved. The man leaves where he comes from, the woman submit to this new bond, then both give birth to a new home. Not just in location but in nature and form.

Mark 10:6-9(NLT)
But ‘God made them male and female’ from the beginning of creation. ‘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.”

A new family is formed, the former is "let go of". That which is not commendable from their former families they let go, however the good ones they apply to this new family. Setting a standard. Any third party fits into this standards, not dictating to them the standard.

If only all who intends to marry understands these, that their home will be a solid rock. Filled with joy and never able to crash.

It is the Lord's desire that we should build strong godly homes.

The enemy will not interfere nether will he be able to destroy our homes. Amen.

We individually or collectively will not destroy our homes, that of our children or that of others.

We will have godly homes.

Glory to God.

We are blessed.

Love
