MARRIAGE HEALING SERIES - 31 DAY MARRIAGE RESET S62E016



TOPIC: FORMING HEALTHY HABITS TO ENRICH YOUR MARRIAGE

KEY BIBLE VERSE: Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32 ESV


 The best kind of marriage is the kind where yesterday's frustrations do not affect the quality of today.

•••

So many times, I’ve had to remind myself to “pick my battles.” I say that in my head quite often when Satan, or even my own flesh, tries to get me flustered about something that was done yesterday or something that was said months ago. Sometimes it is so tempting to bring up the past, but it is so not worth it. Not only because it puts a strain on your marriage but also because God never does that to us. Another thing I ask myself pretty often is “is it worth it?” Is it worth it to rob the moment or even the day of its joy because I am still thinking about that time__________? No, it’s not worth it. That’s one of those moments to let go and let God. That’s one of those moments to ask God to help me get that off of my mind and out of my system, and focus on all of the beauty and blessings I have with my spouse. That’s one of those moments to use my authority to tell Satan to get away from me in the name of Jesus. That’s an opportunity to remind him that he will not have his way in my marriage. Do not use the past as ammunition, leave it where it is, in the past. Thank God for today and show your spouse how thankful you are that you get to spend it with them.


To be continued.... Please stay tuned for continuation tomorrow by God's grace


Remember, we love you but God loves you more, stay blessed, focused and be determined to enjoy a blissful marriage.

Devotional: Life Matters Discuss, Series 7

 LIFE MATTERS DISCUSS, SERIES 7 TOPIC: WINNING THE WAR IN YOUR MIND 1 BIBLE REF: Philippians 4:8-9, Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:1-2, 2Corithians 10:3-5 Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are. You might read that and think I’m being an overly dramatic preacher using hyperbole to get your attention. But this is no exaggeration. Our lives do follow the direction of our thoughts. The better we grasp that truth, the better equipped we’ll be to change the trajectory of our lives. But don’t take my word for it. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. So throughout this Bible Plan, we’ll unpack both Scripture and what we’ve learned from scientific research. Here’s a brief example of both: In Philippians 4:8–9, the apostle Paul writes, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is exce...

5 TRUE Meaning of MARRIAGE

Married Life & Relationship Advice! 3 5 TRUE Meaning of Marriage! What is the true meaning of marriage? Finding a universally applicable, true meaning of marriage may be quite a challenge as there are so many different views and understandings of what is marriage all about. For example, The best definition of marriage as given in Wikipedia states that “ MARRIAGE , also called Matrimony or Wedlock , is a socially or ritually recognized unions between spouses”.
