In Your Patience, Possess Ye Your Marriage!

It is in today's segment that we address the impatience of those who wish to embark upon the journey of marriage. It is in that context that we find so many marriage relationships destroyed, simply because of a lack of Patience. Subsequently we end up in unfavorable relationships.

Often we find ourselves as members of : "the lonely hearts club" , and it is that mind set that drives us to grab the first thing out of the bullpen. Follow this scripture: Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Now even though the writer was referring to the promise of eternal life, this same principle applies to our search for companionship.

You see my friends, we all have hopes and dreams of our life, loves, and prosperity, but it is only accomplished through our willingness to exercise patience to see it come to past, at the right times.

If you noticed in that previous scripture, it outlines a process. . . . ." after ye have done the will of God,". You see, many of us haven't even prepared ourselves for marriage. Yet, we want an instant "match made in heaven". Well, unfortunately, life isn't that simple.

Many times we are unable to find the right mate because of the venues we associate ourselves with. Let me make that a little clearer. If you needed to buy eggs and milk, would you go the Home Depot? Do you see my point.?

There are preparations necessary for both men and women before taking on the life longer journey of marriage. The scriptures tell us in the book of Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Now listen to what this next scripture implies: Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Are you getting it. . . . .these concepts or mind sets are part of the preparations necessary for taking on this new life style called marriage; and without patience, you'll make the wrong choice every time.

What's the message today?. . . . Sometimes it's best just to WAIT! Don't be in a hurry. Just as God has a plan for your life, He also has a mate for you. It's not philosophy, it's a fact! The question now is . . . . are you willing to wait. Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Please remember. . . . you are Blessed!
