"And the Lord God said, it is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Genesis 2:18
There is a lot to be said about the truth in this one verse. I want to focus on the central truth, that God says it is not good for a man to live alone. In our church we have many young men living a not good life alone. These young men have friends and they have family. They are well poised to be successful in life. But they are single and not close to being married. There are also men like me, men who were married but through death or divorce are currently single again. Whether never married or single again, God says this state is not good.
I think it is time for God to act in the area of marriage. I think it is time for these young men to find willing wives. They need to be married while they are young so that they can grow up and grow old as a couple. We need a marriage revival in our Fellowship!
It is not just a matter of seeing someone, talking to them at church, taking them out for dinner, and courting. God initiated marriage in the Garden and He needs to originate marriage again today.
Get married and fall in love. In that order.
God picks the perfect mate for those who let Him choose.
