Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 29 Apr 2008

The power of God centered marriages. Today’s word of encouragement is: What defines your marriage. What defines your marriage? I hope we would take the opportunity to examine our marriage and ask ourselves what really defines our marriage. Is it money? Is it “all about the children”? Is it anger, frustration, quick temperedness? Or is your marriage defined by God? A marriage that is NOT DEFINED BY GOD will always face storms. They would not know how to handle it, and eventually they fall apart and get swept away by the storm. Usually insecurity is the foundation of this type of marriage, a lack of trust, and often what was once love, is dead. Anger seems to consume most of their time, causing the couple to get distracted of why they got married in the first place. A marriage defined by God is powerful, because no matter what may be thrown at them, nothing can split this marriage apart. Even at the lowest points, maybe a lack of financial resources, a major illness, but nothing can split their marriage because God is in the center of their marriage. A marriage defined by God, has no room in it to allow the enemy to strike. The devil can try, but the over powering voice is God. Today, I pray that we would not miss out on the things that matter most. I pray that God would be our focal point, may His love be the foundation of our marriages. Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. © Apr 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
