Who You Marry Matters To God.

“But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭

I have always loved the story of Ruth, as I was in the waiting period of my life I used to read it and it brought me hope to know that God made a way for her to find her husband and that He could do the same for me. As I began to read deep into the book of Ruth I came to realize that God knew she would end up with Boaz from the beginning. The story doesn't end with Ruth but only begins there. As Ruth and Boaz got married, they gave birth to a son named Obed, Obed later had a son named Jesse and Jesse was the father of David. See God knew that King David would come from Ruth's lineage. We think so many times that it doesn't matter who we marry as long as we are happy with it ourselves don't take me wrong I believe God does want us happy in our marriages but He does care who we marry. He cares about your lineage, and who you marry to create that. When you get into a relationship and you see a future with that person take it to God, and ask Him if this is the person He created for you. I always have heard the saying, "It is better to wait than to marry wrong." Today, if you're single pray and ask God for help to wait on the right one, if you're in a relationship ask God if this is the person He has created for you to marry? Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.” Ruth‬ ‭4:22‬ ‭ “So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he slept with her, the Lord enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.” Ruth‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭ “Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away!” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:6‬ ‭ “But if a man thinks that he’s treating his fiancée improperly and will inevitably give in to his passion, let him marry her as he wishes. It is not a sin.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:36‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
