 |
|
Why is it, that I don't practice what I preach? I am constantly telling people that their problems can only be solved because of their reliance on God. And yet, just this morning, in the midst of another battle with my wife, He was nowhere to be found. What I really mean to say is that, if He was with me, I hadn't invited Him, which clearly would have changed the way the conversation went, for the better obviously.
I know better. Just like Paul I ask, Why is it that I know what to do, but chose not to anyway? I love my wife. I need to show her that I do. The best way that I am able to do that, is through Christ. The rest is just window-dressing. |

It takes daily connection - time with the Word, conversation with God and journaling to keep myself on track. Without this time each day, I am lost to my own patience and wisdom which runs very thin at times.
But, I also need for my husband to have this connection with the Lord too.
It's not a one-way connection - it's a three way alliance between me, my husband and the Lord. It's only when we work on that, do things stay on track in our marriage. When one of us is off course with God, lukewarm or cold in our daily time with Him, our marriage also feels the chill. |
