The plan of God is not without trials and tribulations, not without problems and pitfalls, not without degradation and disappointments, but at the end of the plan, it says, “And the third day, He will rise again.” And it is not just speaking about Jesus.

Although God says that the husband is the head of the wife, when the husband abdicates his responsibilities, God will use the wife to get the job done. Deborah shows us that God will use whomever is willing to say, “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.”

We are all God’s children, and regardless of the sin that we have committed, the Father is still looking for us to come home and receive His grace, if we will only repent of our sins and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.

A calm, sweet, grateful, loving person is extremely attractive. But in our society, our marriages often fall apart because that sweet person that we married decides, once the ceremony is over, that they are no longer going to be our lover, but rather our drill sergeant.

The unsaved are lost, not because of their sin, as we are all sinners, lost or saved, but because of their arrogance, in that they refuse to recognize that they are not good enough to merit God’s Kingdom. Heaven is not a place for good people, but only for the humble people, because only the humble can be saved.

Our sins are forgiven because of the mercy of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and our love for Jesus because of His goodness to us calls to love one another as He has loved us.

If husbands and wives decide to focus on the desires and interests of their spouse rather than just their own interests, and if husbands and wives decide to have more esteem for the desires of their spouses than of their own, like-mindedness between the spouses will develop.

This is why a man works; we are all going to leave the things of this life behind, but we want our sons to be good husbands and our daughters and the grandchildren they bring us to have the proper care of a good husband.
