Here it is, the day that I look forward to each week, Sunday. It's the day when God's people make their way to the house of God and spend time worshipping Him together. It's kind of like a foretaste of the gathering of the nations, when we all get to heaven. I love being with my church family!
As I write this morning, I am thinking about marriages. Every marriage has to be founded on Christ, The Solid Rock, if it every hopes to be successful. The problem is that most marriages are built on sinking sand. They are not built to last. However, on the Solid rock, any marriage can and will stand the test of time.
Natalie and I will celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary this December 29th. That thrills my heart to know that God is using us to be a godly model to all other marriages. Yes, we have our ups and downs and disagreements like anyone else. However, we take everything to the Lord and allow Him to bring the resolution. Greater than all of that, we know WHO is our Foundation and we stand on Him.
So, let me encourage you to make Christ the center of your marriage and build upon the Solid Rock as to have a good and firm foundation.
Day 8 - MARRIAGE
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" Genesis 2:24
Prayer for the Day: Lord, we need You in our home. We need You in our marriage. We need You in our family. We need You, Father, to be the Lord of our rings. Forgive us, Lord, for angry words spoken. Forgive us, Lord, for wrong actions taken. Forgive us if we have broken the covenant. Help us today, Lord, to love You by loving our spouse and life mate. Allow our children to see parents who care, who love, who touch, who talk and communicate, because the marriage they will duplicate will the be the one they see between us. So help us, Lord. We need Your supernatural power in our marriage. Help us and strengthen us to keep You as the focus of our marriage.

Husbands and wives would be so wise to follow the biblical advise that Christ sets out in Ephesians of husbands loving their wives as Christ loves the Church. Then, wives, submit to your own husbands as unto the Lord. Men, if you are not under God's authority, then you will never be in authority over your homes and marriages. Stand up and be the priest of your household and pray over your wife and your childen and bless them before the Lord. When you do, God will begin to move mighty in favor on your behalf and bless all that this yours by blood and by adoption.
Have a great day worshipping with God's people somewhere! Bridges of Hope Fellowship starts at 10:30 a.m. this morning. Hope to see you there!
