Putting God First in your Marriage!

Many times in our lives , and especially in our walk in marriage, we face unanswered questions about who we really are, or have we made the right decisions in our lives.

In today's segment, we will talk about these questions and see if we can direct our focus on God's solutions and answers, rather than our own.

Have you ever heard of situations where perhaps a friend, relative, or even yourself were on their way to a destination, but was delayed? Maybe they had forgotten a wallet or briefcase, or just forgot to lock the back door. In any case, they were held up for some reason and was not able to leave on time to get to their destination. Later that same day, they had heard of an accident which happened on the exact same highway route that that person would have taken, had they not been delayed; and after finding out the details of the accident, they noted that had they left at the time intended, it would have been them in that accident instead.

You may call it fate, luck, or coincidence, but the real fact of the matter is, it's really destiny! Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Remember this however; it you that destiny responds to based on your decisions. The decisions you make always dictate the consequences you face!

Trust this my dear readers, no matter how you classify or justify an incident in your life, it still boils down to a "plan and purpose" for your life. As it is in your marriages, a plan and a purpose has been mapped out for you. (According to God's Plan or Will). Again based on your decisions.

Putting God first in you life and marriage, gives you an advantage over most. Simply because it is a flawless plan that will ensure that you will reach the possibilities of your destiny. Most people think that the Bible is just a religious manual that allows you the freedom of religion through our constitution, not really knowing it's content; and sorry to inform you . . . . . what you don't know can hurt you!

We talk generally about the Bible not really realizing that it contains both the rules of life and death. Again, sorry to say, our marriages are hurting and suffer great pain and anguish because we don't have a clue to what has happened to our marriage relationships. Having therefore no guidelines to follow. It is the modern day habit. . . . .do whatever you think is best.Don't fool your selves, marriage is sacred and has a structure, not to be taken for granted, for it is an institution ordained of God.

When we put God first in our marriages, we take out the guess work of trying to figure out alternatives when things fall short of our expectations.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all; says the Holy scriptures, but there are rules and guidelines set up by God; but you must get them from God's Word, and there are no exceptions! It's rather simple if you look at it: first you read the manual, then you do the work! It doesn't get any plainer.
Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. As you can clearly see, it is God's will that you are not kept in the dark about anything concerning your destiny or your marriages. However only the wise will adhere to instruction! Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

My message today my dear friends simply lets you know this: the Word of God is designed to challenge your life, but God never forces Himself on you, it is a choice that you must make. The unanswered questions in your life and marriages are really not unanswered. They are all outlined for you in the content of God's Holy Word, the Bible.

The real question today about you and your marriages is this: Are you putting God first in your Marriage? If not, it could very well be the reason for so many unanswered questions about you and your marriage.

Give it a try, you've got nothing to loose, and everything to gain (abundant life and your marriage). Confused? . . . .don't be, it's all written down for you, line upon line, precept upon precept, it's called. . . . . .the Bible!

Have a wonderful day today, and always remember . . . . . .You are Blessed!
