Disingenuous Love
(Love Shoulda Brought You Home Last Night)

Toni Braxton has a song, “Love Shoulda Brought You Home”. Part of the lyrics say: “Love Shoulda
brought you,
Brought you, Home last night, You shoulda been with me, Shoulda been right by my side, Baby, If you cared anything for me, Then love woulda brought you, To me last night” When a couple gets married, chances are they will not include stipulation in the vows to mandate that each other must be home with the other every evening when possible. That need is "a given" with the commitment to love [,honor and cherish] each another, which often is included in the vows. There are some people that fail to honor their commitments unless there are threats or constant harassment towards them. In the same manner, many impiously ignore the Lord’s will expressed in Genesis 2:3 (listed below) because they don’t hear the Lord in the New Testament demanding their respect as it relates to the Day of Rest (the seventh day of the week). “And
God
blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work which God created and made.” (Genesis
2:3)
Just as the song above, expressed from one person in a relationship to another, “Love Shoulda brought you Home last night”, I can visualize the Lord expressing the lyrics below similarity to those that purport to love Him, yet are not doing the right things on the Day He Consecrated from the very beginning: “Love should have
brought you,
Brought you, To dine with Me last Sabbath night, You should have been with me, Should have been right by my side, Beloved, If you cared anything for me, Then love would have brought you, To break bread with Me last Sabbath Night” This need for sabbatical worship does not have to be stipulated explicitly in a vow to constitute breach of covenant. The Lord reiterates in the book of Exodus about the sanctity of the Day He set aside for Himself in the beginning: “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Exodus 20:11) |
