By Twos

So they came to Noah into the ark, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. Genesis 7:15

While it may have appeared in the previous writing that nothing could be worse than two consenting adults, we have a great deal of evidence in the Bible that a pair can also be a great blessing. After the four pairs of humans entered the ark, then came the beasts and birds by twos in our verse for today. We also saw in the gospels how Jesus sent His disciples out in pairs. Two can encourage one another in the Way, or help to keep each other accountable in moral bearing. And of course we have the word from Jesus on marriage where a man and a woman join and become one flesh. (see Matthew 19:4-6). So, over the past couple of days, we have seen how a pair can go toward the light or down into darkness. What can we learn from this? Let Jesus be your Savior first, and from there walk with Him in the light. Then let the Lord help you with those other pairings, such as friends and spouses.

May the Lord Jesus guide us in all things,
