Which Way is UP. . . ?

In today's segment, we are dealing with a very important topic, time! Time in today's world seems to be the most sensitive issue in our married lives. What we obviously appear to have been given (by God) is time, but it seems as though we have locked our time into duties, schedules, and so many other things, that we have actually have lost time in our marriages, on the road to "up"

On our way up, as we would justify the time we spend, as being our time, appears to have omitted the importance of fellowship. Fellowship with our husbands and wives, fellowship with our children, and most important, the fellowship with our family. Funny isn't it, how time just slips away!

In the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, speaks of "a time for everything". The key here however; is where and how we spend our time. Are we spending our time appropriately; is our jobs and education, and affiliations so important that we just don't have time for our marriages. Well, if that's the case, you're too busy!

When we overload our schedules so, that the fundamental things that are necessary to keep our marriages functioning are lacking, we reduce our marital relationships to just an arrangement, and it attacks the very integrity of our marriages. ( How important that is)

Romans, chapter 14, verse 16, says: Let not then your good be evil spoken of. ; so what the scriptures are saying is we sometimes create evil or (bad situations) thinking that we're doing something good. It's OK to move up in the world, get a higher education, a better job, even a better status.. . .but, NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR MARRIAGE !

Now that you're all mad at me, (smiles), allow me to end on a more positive note: In Matthew 6:33. the scripture eludes to the reality that . . . .your heavenly Father knows what you have need of, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

So which way is up?. . . . .MARRIAGE GOD'S WAY!. . .take some TIME, check it out. . . .you'll be glad that you did.

Stay Blessed always.
