Thursday: Living the Love We Promise
Ultimately, family cohesion and unity rest on the commitment of family members, beginning with the commitment of the marital partners, to care for one another. Sadly, Bible history is strewn with examples of failed promises, broken trust, and lack of commitment where it should have been present. Scripture also has stirring examples of ordinary people who, with God’s help, committed themselves to friends and families and kept their promises.
Look at the following families and their levels of commitment. How could commitment have been strengthened in some families? What encouraged the commitment shown in the others?
People in the hand of God
Parent-child commitment (Gen. 33:12-14, Exod. 2:1-10).
Sibling commitment (Gen. 37:17-28).
Family commitment (Ruth 1:16-18; Ruth 2:11-12, Ruth 2:20; Ruth 3:9-13; Ruth 4:10, Ruth 4:13).
Marital commitment (Hos. 1:2-3, Hos. 1:6, Hos. 1:8; Hos. 3:1-3).
When we commit ourselves to another person, as in marriage or in the decision to bear or adopt a child, there must be a willing surrender of ourselves in order to make a different choice in the future, a surrender of control over an important segment of our lives. Laws may restrain negative behavior, but marriage and family relationships need love within them to enable them to flourish.
| What does Jesus’ promise of commitment (Heb. 13:5) mean to you personally? What effect should His commitment to you have on your commitment to Him, to your spouse, to your children, and to fellow believers? |
Amen!
