This may come as a surprise to some but… It was not man who ordained marriage but it was God. He was the One who set the standard of how things should be. He established everything according to how our relationship with Christ and the Church should be and so the marriage should be mirrored. He ordained who should be the head of the family even as we submit ourselves to Him for He is head of the church. With prayers and supplication and intercessions we go to Him daily for guidance and then it is that we find all things work together for them that Love God and are called according to His purpose. Setting our own boundaries of how things are done are empty without God. We can paint every religious picture as to what we want the world to see, but God sees beneath the outside layer of oil we paint within our lives. I never knew what it meant to step up to the plate and serve God faithfully until I got saved and turned everything over to the Lord. He is our peace… He is our grace… He is our mercy when we know we don’t deserve it and He is our guide. It’s time to look unto the hills from whence comes our strength. We have nothing by which we can prove ourselves to God for anything, for we are but dust. So many times I’ve looked in the wrong places thinking to get some sort of approval from God when all along it should have been Him I was looking at but had not. If we are to rejoice in the Lord it will be because of our obedience to Him. It’s not about us… it’s about Him. God Bless.
