Yes.....This generation is in lack of Godly men...but how true is that statement...hmm.. Well, when it comes to issues about relationships (like ones expected to lead to marriage) so many comments, suggestions, opinions and advice arises, both solicited and unsolicited ones.
Every single young Lady can relate with this and much more, especially when you are a Christian young lady striving to live for Jesus and maintain Biblical standards. You hear words like,"All you need is a nice guy, caring, with good character, don't place such a high standard....hmm..A nice combination right?.....oh i think i forgot one.....guess which...?i believe you got it- he's got to be rich. Wow, girl what else are you looking for in a guy?...don't let this pass you by...(smiles-and wonder: "whatever happened to GOD-IN-THE HEART)". Really reminds me of the scripture in Matt.19:17, when Jesus told a young man that, ".....none is Good except God..." Only a man surrendered to God can be really good.
I've come to a point in life to know and understand that morals are not just enough. Only a man sold out to God can truly understand and take his place in his family as the head and love his wife and children.
Jacob was a man close to God enough to get direction from God concerning his family, and his family willingly submitted knowing that God leads him and they are safe(Genesis.31:14-16). That's a man that leads his home. I tell you leading a home is not easy-so it takes bravery of heart and sheer courage which comes from the indwelling of the Spirit of God, not a man's outward six packs muscular appearance, to lead a home.
Now their question, But where is such a guy in this generation? They still exist...in their place in God. I remember at one time Elijah thought he was the only one remaining of the true prophets, here is what God told him,".....yet i have left me 7000 in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to baal...." 1 Kings. 19:14-18.
Truly we are in a generation where there are many men who lacks true understanding of relationship and marriage and as such most single ladies wrongly believe that since all men are the same, accepts any that comes..just to be married.. They forget that God has got a bigger picture of purpose for their lives of which marriage is only a part. Some "Christian" singles go as far as going into a relationship with an unsaved guy, saying they will convert him- what one of my most loved female author Michelle McKinney calls "Missionary Dating".. Girl, that's the job of the Holy Spirit not ours, okay!
Yet they insist "where is such a guy in this generation?" They are extinct. hey!, Girlfriend, i understand you've been through a lot of heartbreaks, and sister the so called "brother" took your pearls away and left you in ashes...Christ came to heal your wounds and give you beauty for ashes. Listen and hear Him say,"just hand over your heart to me and i will heal it"
I know it's not easy,but God's grace is ever sufficient in our weaknesses...(2. Cor.12:9). God still has a remnant of Godly men. In fact God needs us to surrender our lives to Him in total abandonment so He can make us Godly Ladies. Only then can you understand that your true worth is found in Christ not in a man and also you can discern a Godly man when you see one.
And if your still unsaved, its a awesome opportunity to bow your head, confess your sins to Christ Jesus, believe He died and rose to redeem you from sin and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, and you shall be saved.
If you said that prayer, Welcome aboard, I've been on this path for more than a decade now and i can assure you, staying in Love with Christ is the best thing that happened to me and will be same for you. As you hope in God, may He bring you to the Godly man prepared for you as he brought Eve to Adam- No Scheming or Manipulation. Grace to you & Glory to God. Stay Blessed.
