Devotional
When we look at the world around us, we see the intricate details of God's creation. From the smallest flower to the vast expanse of stars, everything has been carefully designed with purpose. This is especially true when it comes to human sexuality. God, in His infinite wisdom, created something beautiful and profound when He designed men and women to come together in marriage. It wasn't an afterthought or a mistake - it was intentional, purposeful, and declared good by the Creator, Himself. Understanding this truth helps us view sexuality through a different lens - not as something shameful or merely physical, but as a divine gift meant to be treasured and honored within its proper context.
Bible Verse
"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.'" - Genesis 1:27-28
Reflection Question
How does viewing sexuality as God's intentional design change your perspective on its purpose and value?
Quote
God invented sex. It was his idea. And he said about all of his creation, including the creation of sex, He said it is good and not only is God the one who thought of it, but he designed a man and a woman to fit perfectly together for it.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for creating us with intention and purpose. Help us to see Your design for sexuality as beautiful and sacred. Guide us to honor Your creation in our thoughts and actions. Amen.
