The word for today

Luke 17:24

For as the lightning flashes from horizon to horizon and lights up the sky, so the Son of Man will be in his day.

1 Samuel 3:11

The Lord said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to shudder.

Psalm 68:9

You, God, showered abundant rain; you revived your inheritance when it languished.

Psalm 72:1

Of Solomon.

God, give your justice to the king and your righteousness to the king’s son.

Psalm 17:3-4

You have tested my heart; you have examined me at night.

You have tried me and found nothing evil; I have determined that my mouth will not sin.

Concerning what people do: by the words from your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

Psalm 18:9

He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet.

Psalm 19:1

For the choir director. A psalm of David.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the work of his hands.

Hosea 2:1-3

Call your brothers: My People

and your sisters: Compassion.

Rebuke your mother; rebuke her.

For she is not my wife and I am not her husband.

Let her remove the promiscuous look from her face and her adultery from between her breasts.

Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her as she was on the day of her birth.

I will make her like a desert and like a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

1 Corinthians 7:10

To the married I give this command—not I, but the Lord—a wife is not to leave her husband. 

Psalm 119:5

If only my ways were committed to keeping your statutes!

A note on divorce:  1 Corinthians 7:10 is not written to condemn divorced people, but was and is a rebuke to "easy divorce" or divorce without a deep process of disengagement from a serious covenant.  The reason I give this word today, is because God's people too easily divorce each other.  Instead of being know as a unified bride of Christ, we are divorced from one another, over everything but Christ.  In a way, the bride has divorced, left, her husband, Christ, because she wants nothing to do with the other parts of his bride whom he loves.
