“HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE FOR HURTING MARRIAGES"

“HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE FOR HURTING MARRIAGES"

Genesis 2:18 "And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

Proverbs 18:22 "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD."

Matt 7:24* “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

Matt 7: 25 “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Matt7:26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

Matt 7: 27 “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

A thought:

We all have storms that come into our lives, there is no question about that. You may have a storm that is blown into your marriage at this time. Jesus taught about how we survive storms. It's by being wise, and taking His Word to heart, and acting upon it. If we do, then, our house, i.e our life, our marriage will stand, because it is built on the rock of Jesus Christ, and His Word. Lord, it's our prayer today, that we are thankful for the spouse You have given to us, and that we are not alone. As men, we would say thank You for giving us our wives, You have given us favor. And, as couples, we would say,

A prayer:

Father, we humble ourselves today, before You, and acknowledge that we cannot live any part of this life alone, and apart from You, we need You. We especially need You in our marriages. Give us grace today, as we humbly admit our need for You, and take control of our lives, and let us walk in obedience to You this day. Help us to show love to our mates, and to serve them in sincere love. In Jesus Name. Amen.
