Somebody once told me that Focus was overrated because you see every blemishing mistake you made but you can’t change it. I let you agree or disagree but I will tell you that I personally have had a lot of questions lately. Questions seem to get me back on focus. It’s funny because questions seem to be a reoccurring thing with me. Rob Bell once said that asking God questions is a good thing. If you don’t ask how will you ever know.
So I ask this. Can I keep fighting for my wife for a lifetime? Can I truly follow God if I keep obsessing over this one thing? Is moving on okay? Is remarrying okay? Is the best thing to do is leave everything behind and go serve God fully, till the point of hunger and cold? How can I truly serve him here if I am surrounded by happily married couples when God wants me to be single forever? Does God want me to be single forever? Is staying where I am just going to tempt me to get remarried again? And most of all, Why is the Bible not more clear on Divorce and what you can do after?
Can we say frustration till the point of insanity. Yes we can. So then I read John 12:26. It says: “Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, my servant also will be. “
Wow, can we say revelation now. This passage should help anyone struggling with anything, not just divorce. Whenever the bible is not 100% clear on something and it doesn’t say Thou shalt or thou shalt not, you are to fall back on this passage. As long as you are focused on following and serving God, you are doing the right thing. Maybe, just maybe God will take you to another man or woman who he then will make it clear to you to marry again. Then who are we to say no to God. Just follow him and don’t look at what if I did this or what if I did that. Just follow him and he will decide what is best for you, whether that is remarriage or whatever else there could be.
Not every outcome will be the same. Just follow God and trust that he will show you yours. Most of the time this will be completely different then you thought it would be. That’s just how he works. God the magician. He has the element of surprise. Chris Angel who?
