Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - Paying the Price

AM - Devotion

Lunch: Exercise - Lower Body Resistance / Cardio

Reading re: Some relationships in the bible where the man waited on the woman (meaning, did not have pre-marital sex) before marrying her.  Not only did he wait, in some cases, worked 14 years to have sex with his bride (Jacob & Rachel)

Couples:
Isaac & Rebekah
Boaz & Ruth
Jacob & Rachel
Jospeh & Mary

Exert from "What to do until Loves find you"

Paying the Price

     Another promise of God, as you've probably guessed by now, is that when He places you in front of the man He has chose for you, that man will be willing to pay the price.  He will be willing to give up all he considers valuable, including sex, in order to have you.  As a matter of fact, he won't want anything to be out of order.  He won't put you in any situation where your reputation stands the chance of being marred.  He will be protective of everything concerning you, including your walk with the Lord.  He will love you enough not to lead you into compomise.  He will willingly take his place as leader, protector, and provider.

If he doesn't, look out!
     Boaz was very careful to protect Ruth's reputation and make sure she did not suffer the lack of anything she needed.  Her comfort and satisfaction were of the utmost importance to him.
