Bible Question: Is it true that God has a companion already purposed for you? Is there any biblical reference to divine partnership? Other than Adam and Eve. |
Bible Answer: May we look the passage in Gen 24 for an answer to your query: Now Abraham was advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in every way. (24:1) Yet, Abraham was to send his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac. This was of course, so that the future spouse would be one not corrupted by the worship of idols and the lusts of her ancestors, among other things. It is apparent that in today's world, Christian disciples that are diligent to remain within biblical instruction as they find their way in life, and if they subject themselves to the principles of God's will in all their endeavors, they will have enough reason to look forward towards prosperity and success. This, of course, not pertaining to money or wealth, but health and happiness. God’s promises, as well as our own daily experiences, are enough to prove our dependence upon Him, and to also strengthen all of our expectations through Him, in all of our concerns in this life. This will necessarily include the search for a spouse, though I might place certain limitations and qualifications further upon these thoughts. (cf. Jn 8:31-32) God’s angels are holy spirits, which He sends, not only for protection, but also for guidance of all of us who are His. (cf. Heb. 1:14) "He shall send his angel before thee, and then thou wilt speed well.’’ Lord bless |
