Dedicated to Stick Twogether!

                           

Dedicated to Stick Twogether

^{Ruth 1:14} And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

cleave

1.

to adhere closely; stick; cling 

2.

to remain faithful

Ruth was dedicated to Naomi. Even when Naomi tried to push Ruth away there was nothing going to stop Ruth from following her to the next destination in life. She wanted to go with her where ever she went! She knew that this is what she wanted and there was nothing that was going to change her mind. When a husband and wife come together they choose to become dedicated to each other to adhere to each other where ever each other goes.  They become one If the husband moves across country the wife moves across country.  Just as when we cleave to Christ where ever you go he goes even places he doesn't really want to go that you may take him.  Yet no matter what even If Ruth's life was to get better or worst she was going to cleave to Naomi. There are people who leave Christ when times are hard look at Orpah she left Naomi she probably thought over in her life how barren her life had been since marrying into that family. So she left! Sometimes we only decide to walk with Christ only when the Road is good then when it gets bad we are so quick to turn away and do our own thing never finishing the journey but turning the other way! Yet when we are really dedicated to Christ, our SPouse, or someone in life there is nothing not even the worst of times that will stop us from cleaving to one another.

                                   Two Death Do Us Part!

^{Ruth 1:17} Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me

Vow : A solemn promise

Sounds like Ruth was making a vows to Naomi to never part from her until death.  She was promising that she would be here for the long hall that nothing would separate them not even death because she wanted to be buried right by Naomi. She even said Naomi's God would be her God. She was trusting in the Lord. With any of our relationships we need to trust God with them for their purpose and how God wants to use them, trust him as the foundation to be the glue that holds them together.

^{! Samuel 1:11} And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.


Hannah made a vow to God and she kept her vows that she made with God she took them seriously.  God gave his best to her when he gave to her just as she took her time to raise him her best.  When we have a relationship we need to take our vows seriously. Give our best because God gave his best. Look at when God gave his son Jesus on the cross to die for our sins! So till death do us part mean's forever, better or worst means even at the worst. 

                                                One + One = One!

knit

  

1.

to join closely and firmly, as members or parts (often followed by together  ):

^{Genesis 2:22-24} And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.²³ And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.²⁴ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

When you think about being knitted twogether you think about when someone knits something twogether. It now holds a bond that can not be broken. God took Eve out of Adam so that they could cleave to be one again. When a husband and a wife come twogether they become one. Mr. and Mrs. (Husbands last name) Just like when we come together with Christ we then become his bride and are know knitted together with him! David and Jonathan had a covenant and it was an everlasting covenant.There covenant kept going even after Johnathan died when he helped Johnathan son!

Building a Relationship

Proverbs 27:17

 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

It is give and take. Like building a relationship with Christ I give with Christ and he gives to me also. We have a bond and communicate on a daily basis. That should be any relationship. I can be vulnerable  with Christ and tell him how I feel inside and how my day is going. Yet he also let's me know how his day is. It's a shared relationship. Not a one way street. I am committed to be in this relationship through whatever happens.  When Jonathan and david had their covenant there where times where David needed help and Jonathan had his back. Their were time in the same with David in which this happened as well when David had Jonathan back. We help build each other up.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

⁹ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

¹¹ Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

¹² And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

As long as you walk and grow together and Christ you will help build each other up!
