MAKE SURE YOUR DISPOSITIONS FIT. DON’T JUST “FALL IN LOVE.”

Be ye not unequally yoked together. 2 Corinthians 6:14.... Romantic love is a glorious thing, but it will not serve as the foundation for a marriage. For starters, it has to do with emotions, and emotions are unreliable. As desirable as romantic feelings are, they are not a sound enough foundation on which to build a lifelong relationship. A marriage that will endure the test of time must rest on a solid bedrock. Genesis 24 tells us the story of how Abraham, who was living among the ungodly inhabitants of a foreign land, sent a servant to his country to find a wife for his son Isaac from among his own people. Abraham wanted Isaac to marry a woman who would share his son’s beliefs and be committed to his principles. God guided the servant Rebekah, whose family was related to Abraham and knew the Lord. When the servant brought the girl to Isaac, “she became his wife, and he loved her” (Genesis 24:67). This couple experienced romance, but their relationship was based on something deeper. Jesus stated that only a house built on his truth would stand. If you are thinking about getting married, consider the wisdom of His words. If your marriage is based on mutual faith in Christ, you and your spouse can rejoice that your home rets secure. And if it isn’t, it’s not too late to redo the foundation. Today is the day of salvation, make him your ROCK, your SHIELD, and your SALVATION!
