One Flesh

One Flesh
Daily Devotional for January 21

Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

God intended marriages to be one. Cleave means

So close together that air can't get through
Stuck together as two pieces of wood glued to strengthen each other
Joined together in sex

Oneness will bring in happiness and safety.

In today's world the wife works. The husband works. They are both tired when they come home. The next thing you know, division has stepped in because the god of the air: satan, in Ephesians 2:2 has broken the oneness of love and replaced it with the spirit of confusion. "Why did we ever get married?" "Look at all the money problems we have." The next step, sad to say, is a broken marriage.

Do not be ignorant, satan is the cause of this kind of hurt. God wants us to love our spouse. He wants us to be one. He would like to see us happy and content.

Bible References (KJV)

Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience"
