The truth? As soon as you saw my title this morning? You saw the word jealous. Hello ofourse it makes perfect sense. If jealousy is going to be in the picture?!
Question is, "Why would the spouse feel jealous? Did either spouse do something really bad in order for them to feel jealous? So bad? That divorce may end up being the final result?
I know right! So many what if's. And, plenty blanks to fill.
Let's fast forward. For the sake of the writing, let me spit out the example of this.
Spouse 1 is jealous because Spouse 2 did something. The wife is caught in bed with another man, not her husband. However, her husband caught her red handed, doing a very sinful deed.
O yeah! pretty positive there were some jealous feelings going on in that situation. That poor Hubby.
Now, let me offer some Deep Thoughts. OK, let's take a look at why the husband would be jealous.
1. Choosing to spend her time with someone else. Doing what she should be doing with her husband.
2. Lying
3. Getting her needs be filled by someone else.
Now, let's take it a step further. Meaning, did you all know that God says in his word, 'I am a Jealous God." Yeah, I know. Me too! I had no idea he said that too. My Aunt showed me where exactly he says it in the word.
Let's break it down why God would feel Jealous if we end up doing something we know we shouldn't be doing
1. I really think God would feel hurt when he sees that we are spending the time we were supposed to be having with him. with someone else or doing something else.
2. God is probably really hurt that people are relying on other things,
counting on and caling on other things. Do people need help? Comfort? Protection, Strength, Wisdom, etc.
Uh, hello! That is the job of God! However, the sad thing is there are some people out there who are misusing the name of Jesus! Yes, friends, there is a way to misuse and disrespect the name of Jesus. incorrectly! When you say in the name of Jesus, I am pretty sure He would want us to say his name in the most praiseworthy way.
Please be mindful of when You turn to other things. That's God's job so of course he would feel jealous. Think about things personally. Pretty sucky huh? I repeaWe have a jealous God!
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
For the Lord your God in your midst is a jealous God—lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth
