Live it..
The Beatles, a pop singing group of the sixties, sang a song entitled, "Can't Buy Me Love." The words went like this, "I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you, I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love." That logic is admirable, but if that's all you've got, save your money for a divorce lawyer. A good marriage is more about trust and sacrifice than what one person can give the other.

Solomon had a lot of wives and many more mistresses, so you'd think he knew something about relationships. But reading what he wrote in Scripture is a sad commentary on a man of extremes. On one hand, God blessed him more than any other man and he was respected by everyone, even his enemies. But, he died in a sad state, gluttonous, alone and pitied by everyone. He had all the pleasures this world could afford, certainly enough money to buy anything his heart desired, but he had no love and no peace. Maybe we can learn from his mistakes and love God above anyone else. No, I don't think so. We'd rather sing, "When a man loves a woman I give you everything i've got (yeah) Trying to hold on to your precious love; Baby, baby please don't treat me bad."

Pray it
Thank you for a relationship that honors you; for having nothing but enjoying everything; for loving others, but not as much as You.
