How Well the CREATOR Knows the creation!

How well the Creator knows his creation!

God knows us so much better than we know ourselves nit's as the saying goes: "The programmer knows his program because he wrote the code.". God wrote the code that created this whole world. He knows us so well. The bible is clear on this with the commands that are given. I'll set out to give examples of this.

Dealings With Husbands and Wives:

Read Ephesians 5:22-32

I know I'm starting off heavy but this is a great example of how well the creator know us. I chose this one also because k he debate that it stirs. He tells the wives to submit to their husbands. Most women hear this and lose their minds. But what does God mean by submitting here? He means that the wife is supposed to trust her husband, if he's being lead by God, and know that God is in control. There should be no fear that her her husband will fail I God is in control of his footsteps and decisions. And the wife living by this command plays into God's next command.

He then tells the wives to RESPECT their husbands. Respect. What is the meaning of respect in this term?

Respect: the condition of being esteemed or honored: to be held in respect.

God knew from the beginning that a man has an ego and needs to be esteemed to feel like he's making a difference. If you ask a man whether he wants to be loved or respected by his wife, most men will tell you the latter.

He also commands the husband to love his wife as Christ loved the church. That kind of love is what is referred to as agape love. Loving without measure and unconditionally. Why would God command this? Because he knew of the woman's need to feel loved. A woman would rather be loved than respected and any woman that says otherwise is lying to herself. It's in her nature to seek love. God commands these things for our benefit, not his own. Because he knows and understands what He created He is able to give us the commands that He gives. When you hear about divorces what are some of the main complaints that you hear?

"He was never around. We were growing apart. I didn't feel loved."

"She was always nagging me. I never felt like a man around her. She was too controlling."

The marriages that I have seen stand the test of time are the ones that follow these commandments. Do what God tells not because He says so but because he knows so.
