Bible Question:
Can someone tell me what it means when they seek the LOrd with all your heart. my husbands thinks this means to leave everything and try to find the LORD. He wants to be apostle and forget he has a family. He wont listen to me, |
Bible Answer: Please tell your husband to pray for wisdom and understanding. Tell him that leaving his family and his wife may not be what our Father wants. I bet our Father has put both of you together for a reason that may not be clear right now. Tell him that he shouldn't do a thing but wait and pray about what ever impression he is under. tell him that if he is truly saved then he is a diciple. Nothing can change that. Further, if he is a diciple he will want to do the will of the Father and nothing else. But he will also know that satan can come and decieve. No saved person would ever leave his family even if it was an impossible situation. He can seek the Lord with his family and together love the Lord. See: Deuteronomy 4:29, Lamentations 3:25, Amos 5:14 |
