Through the weeks and months of courtship with Ashley I know I have said countless prayers for our marriage and us individually. The Foundation has been laid.
Now in the first couple years of marriage, we shall see how the foundation is finished...
What is amazing is now, we get to pray together. As we put Christ at the center of our relationship, all else will flow naturally from the One True Source.
We are meant to grow!! We must never forget that as a couple...
Unconditional love, joint prayer, and forgiving hearts is a potent recipe for this cruel world....the devil will most definitely try to 'kill, steal, and destroy' our marriage....
Therefore, we must look to the Victor for our strength and ever present help in the times of trouble...
We must run this race with perserverance...because 'in this life YOU WILL have tribulation'....
It all goes back to the Foundation. Where have you laid yours and what kind of ground do you stand on?
In marriage, the 'floods WILL COME'...but whoever built their relationship on God...will stand and last...
"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,'
and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me
and hears my words and does them,
I will show you what he is like:
he is like a man building a house,
who dug deep and laid the foundation
on the rock.
And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house
and could not shake it,
because it had been well built.
But the one who hears and does not do them
is like a man who built a house on the ground
without a foundation.
When the stream broke against it,
immediately it fell,
and the ruin
of that house
was
great."
Luke 6:46-49
God gives us grace to start building anywhere and at any place in our lives...repent and begin laying a firm foundation...On the Rock our God.
