What you see, is what you get!


Typically, when it's time for couples to decide on marriage, we generally don't ask God. It's just a fact. However, believe it or not, God also has set a time for us to marry. Surprised? ...well don't be. In the book of Ecclesiastes; Chapter 3, it tells how God has set in order times. A time for everything under the sun.

Many will ask, so how do I pick my mate? Does all of a sudden a man or woman appears, and I fall in love and get married?...Ha! Ha!...Sorry, I do however wish it was that easy, nevertheless. . . . .
The Holy Scriptures tell us in Matthew: 6:25 thru 33, that our heavenly Father knows what we have need of; and yes even a mate. We have been so accustom to making all our decisions based on our senses.....feeling , touching , tasting , hearing, and seeing. No wonder "what you see is what you get".

There is a principle that most couples never consider, and that is trusting in God. You may not believe it but you must trust God with all, or you don't trust Him at all, Marriage in particular. Just a simple principle could save you years of heartaches.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding....Proverbs: 3:5. You see it's not important to try and understand how God works. It just important for you to know that He knows how to work on your behalf. Verse 6 goes on to say : In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.

There is an inventory of mates that you can't even see! Praise God! The fact today is: God does care about your marriage. He cares who you marry because He alone only knows your future. Does it take faith? ....very little.

Have you ever gone shopping for a special item, and the salesperson says: "what you see is what we've got".disappointing isn't it?. . .it is the same when you don't look to God for your guidance. After all, isn't marriage a life-time affair.?

AND I SAY To: THE UNMARRIED......today's message is a challenge to you. Choose God's Way to marriage or . . . ."What you see is what you get"
