A Novel Approach to Divorce Recovery - A Gilded Sky, Chapter 30

Warning: The question contains spoilers. If you haven't already read the book, you may not want to read the questions.

Read pages 202-204, from the second paragraph from te bottom, "'I'm not jealous,' Greg ..." over through the third full paragraph on page 204, "'It also makes the ...'"

Greg gives an impromptu mini message about "our God is a jealous God." Have you ever wondered about that? Does what Greg says make sense to you?

Verify what Greg said. Use a concordance to look up all the passages about "jealous." Use a GK Concordance to find the Hebrew and Greek words the original authors used. (See the bible study page if you don't know what a GK Concordance is.) Use a scripture chart to list all the passages and what the bible's original meaning was. Which ones are about God's protectiveness of what's his? What does that tell you about God? What does that tell you about what it means to be Christ-like?

In your marriage, were you jealous with a godly jealousy? Did you protect your relationship or did you undermine it with negative thoughts about your spouse? What are ways you failed to be jealous of your relationship? Process that with your friends. Pray that God moves you to a place of willingness and gives you the strength to apologize to your ex-spouse for what you didn't do to protect your marriage? (Even if you were the 'victim' in the divorce, there are still things you could have done better.)
