Daily Devotional – 5/3/13 “Scandal isn’t real life!”

I just thought I’d throw it out there. Yes, a man is supposed to earn his wife but that means her respect, her trust, her love and her support; not her body! Scandal isn’t real life so stop thinking that everything in your life will work out like it did in Olivia’s because you haven’t seen the end yet. Yea, I know they make it look easy but what’s glamorous about being the mistress or even about being the one that’s the mister? Since when is it cool for the mistress to be chosen and your marriage vows thrown away like yesterday’s trash? Don’t you know Hebrews 13:4 says, “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous?” Yea, I know we all make mistakes but don’t think just because you have now been chosen as number one; it makes it right because it doesn’t. Oh, let me tell you; I enjoy Scandal just as much as the next person but do you think I’ll pattern my life around it, NO! Why not, you ask? Because Scandal isn’t real life! But now because Olivia told Fitz to earn her, you got all kinds of text messages going out today saying the same thing but baby if you’ve been giving up the goods for a few pieces of change already; he’s earned it and so have you. You’ve both earned a fast ticket straight to hell unless you repent and get right. TV is for ratings and not for imitating. Get your life right!
