Malachi 2:15-17

Words alone weary the Lord - Malachi 2:15-17: God required a godly seed. Those who are married must nurture their marriage as a part of their relationship with God. God had all the resources of the Holy Spirit available as He made Adam and Eve as one flesh. Today God likewise creates one flesh when a man and a woman are scripturally married to one another. A godly couple must have strong commitment to one another and a strong commitment to training their children to serve God. In an even more vivid way God chose one nation through whom the godly seed would be sent to save the world. The action of these godless Jews was designed by Satan to destroy that "godly seed" by corrupting the nation. God hates divorce because it creates havoc in the home and in society. God especially hated these divorces because they were a part of Satan scheme to destroy the Savior, the "godly seed." These people said God approved of their lives because He had taken no action against them. Malachi told them that their words wearied God. These people really did not want God's judgment to come upon them as they seemed to be saying. They were in rebellion against God!
