Scripture: Mark 10:1-31
Observation: Jesus makes clear it is not God's will that people divorce. Marriage is very serious to Him. Jesus also teaches what is required to enter the Kingdom: to receive it as a child, and to give up all we have for His sake and for the Kingdom's sake. This makes entering the Kingdom difficult for many.
Application: Loyalty is extremely important to God. Whether it's loyalty to Him, as in giving up our own comfort for the Kingdom, or loyalty in our earthly relationships, such as marriage, we need to keep ourselves faithful to God and His teachings.
Prayer: Father, You have modeled faithfulness to us, because You are always faithful. To imitate You I need to be faithful also. Keep my heart pure, that I may be loyal to You, to my husband, to my family, friends, and all those around me, so that I may be a good witness of your mercy and grace. In Christ Jesus, Amen.
