“Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” Genesis 6:1-2
Before the LORD God destroyed the world with a flood because the people of this world had turned away from Him and no longer walked in His ways, the believers took wives from among the daughters of the unbelieving, leading to more and more families turning away from faith in the true God to unbelief and sin.
Give to Your children, O LORD, wisdom to choose a spouse who believes in Your promises and walks in Your ways so that they may bring up their children “in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4) and not in the ways of this evil and dying world. Amen.
