Now the serpent
was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every
tree of the garden’?”– Genesis 3:13
God
wanted to make a helper comparable to Adam and so He made Eve. God created a
beautiful marriage relationship and that relationship included God, Adam and
Eve. Everything was going perfect in the life of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve
lived together happily as they speak to God face to face when He walks in the
garden in the cool of the day.
Everything
went on well until Eve allowed some other into their relationship. She met the
serpent in the garden and listened to the voice of the serpent. As she listened
to the voice of the serpent, she also automatically obeyed the words of the
serpent. As their conversation went on, Eve forgot God and her husband Adam.
Initially
the words of the serpent seem to be so pleasant to Eve and later when she found
the truth she understood that the serpent deceived her. But it was too late.
When she realised everything that the serpent said was wrong, she was hiding
away from God. Not only she committed sin but because she allowed serpent into
her life, Adam also committed sin. Their relationship with God suffered.
Even
their own marriage relationship was in trouble because of the way she heard to
someone’s words. In Genesis 3:12, we see that Adam puts the entire blame on Eve
for the things happened. Quarrel started between them already. Peace between
them was destroyed by themselves.
My
dear young friends, do not allow anyone into your marriage life. I have heard
so many incidents in which both wife or husband allows a third person into
their life and later that particular person will destroy their life. When God gives
you a husband or wife, remember the relationship is between you, your life
partner and God. No one else is allowed into that relationship.
At
times you can get counsel from elders or spiritual leaders but you should not
allow them into your life to take decisions every time. If you need something,
go together to God’s presence and pray about it. God will lead you in the right
way directly or through someone else.
If
you are working somewhere you should not spend too much time with your
colleague. In the time which Eve should have spoken with Adam, she was speaking
with the serpent. That led to their destruction. You should speak more to your
life partner not with your colleague or best friend.
You
both should speak together with God in prayer. Do not allow anyone into your
marriage life and do not spend much time with others. Do not listen to ungodly
advices of your family members or your colleagues or your friends.
I
heard about a young couple who went to a foreign country after they got
married. Their parents were in their native country and all of them were
committed their lives to God. Once the young couple got married they decided to
live according to God’s will. So when they went and got settled in foreign
nation, they decided to speak to their parents in a fixed day and at a fixed
time. In that day, they both will come together and call their respective
parents one after other. They sit together and speak to them by putting their
phone in the loudspeaker mode so that nothing is hidden in between them.
They
practiced this regularly to avoid any misunderstanding and problem that arises
through some other people. Even today they live happily.
Even
they didn’t allow their parents to get in between them and they made sure that
God alone is given the first priority in their relationship before themselves.
So God blessed them abundantly.
Are
you keeping anyone hidden in your life without the knowledge of your wife or
husband? If you are doing that remember you are committing a big mistake. Give
God the priority and keep all other relations away from your marriage life.
Then you will live happily. Your marriage relationship will be blessed by God.
