Before God set up the earth and heavens, He had a plan. His plan was to have a family and that they would all share heaven and God’s life. He knew that this plan had to be laid out in order for it to work. God’s economy is very precise, down to the milometer. When making heaven and earth, God wanted to show how vast He is and also how close He is to us. God created order out of chaos. He is omniscient, all knowing, omnipresent, everywhere at the same time and sovereign, in charge of everything. So God knew what man was going to do before He created us. God created the path than man must take to get home, heaven. He knew that if man didn’t follow that path, it led to another place actually reversed for the devil and his cohorts.

God’s first institution was marriage. It has a structure by which a man and woman can live together. If the man or woman doesn’t follow God’s instructions, it will lead to destruction of the marriage and divorce.

God’s economy is to be under authority. We can’t be in authority unless we are under authority. God mapped this out to bring harmony in the marriage. Of course, man knows better than God. He will do what he wants to do and this has lead to the failure of 50% of all marriages. God has only one reason for divorce and that is infidelity. And unfortunately it is more common than not. People have no idea what they have done when they are unfaithful to their spouse.

Living in God’s economy is living godly, trusting and believing that God knows what He is doing and following Him all the way home. It requires submission on our part to God’s plan. And the benefits out weight anything else. God’s plan is thorough. He thought of all things necessary for us to be able to live the life and walk home. We are the ones that have to make the choice to walk the path. God said that not one comma or period will change in His word, until all of His word be fulfilled.
