SPOUSES WITHOUT DRIVING DIRECTIONS
One of the things that really bug’s a wife is that her husband never asks for directions when he is lost.
And a big AMEN from me! Lol!!!
Well wives I have an eye opener for you, us wives need directions also.
How many times are you totally OFF TRACK in your thinking, but you don’t ask for help.
David wrote in Psalms 23 that the LORD is His shepherd.
David was a shepherd and he knew how VITAL it was to keep his sheep from straying and he protected them from thieves and wild animals by forfeiting his own life.
YAHWEH ROI is the one true shepherd for His people.
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
For his name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:1-3)
God gently, through His precious Holy Spirit, brings you back when you wander from God’s way of righteousness.
When you are going through DARK times in your marriage, He is there constantly caring for you.
He watches over you night and day because we are like sheep, when we are vulnerable, we start to panic.
CASE AND POINT: My father-in-law (who lived with us for 17 years), my aunt (my mothers sister who I was very close to), and my mother and father, all died within a year and a half. It is said that it takes about 2 years to get over the death of a family member. I didn’t get 2 year intervals to finish mourning before another death was to be dealt with.
I can testify that God truly “restored my soul” and our family was able to deal with grief and gain supernatural strength to stay focused on Jesus during our ordeal.
Scripture tells us that without Christ, we have no direction.
Without Christ you cannot CONTROL your attraction to sin, or your selfish nature.
How can you keep your spiritual life on course without Christ.
Jesus is called the “Lamb of God” and the “Good Shepherd.” He became a part of the flock like us by laying down His life.
Because Jesus was the Lamb of God, we can truly live.
Do you let your fears dictate to you how to respond to the issues of life?
YAHWEH ROI, our LORD the Shepherd, has left us His promises.
Psa.23:4 “Even though I walk
Through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For you are with me;
Your rod and your staff,
They comfort me.
Is the devil lying to you that your marriage is not going to make it?
Does he tell you that you are missing out on LIFE?
Are you afraid of what you will do if something happens to your spouse?
Fear is powerful and it will push you into the WRONG path.
Security and anxiety will overwhelm you if you let fear shape your behavior and choices.
Stay on the right path as you allow the Holy Spirit to DIRECT your marital life.
NOTE: Tomorrow there will be a new post to give you insight on your marriage.
LOVE YOUR SPOUSE 
I need to say WOOOHOOO!!! This made me excited. I love it when I realize that I have no fear. When I face a situation and I am calm I think wow back in the day when I did not have Christ in my life I would of been a big mess and so dramatic. But now I face it calmly and with a lot of hope and faith. I hold on to GOD’s promises and soon the trial is over then I realize how much I learned from it…everything that GOD allows in my life and marriage not matter how bad it has seemed there is always a big wonderful reason for it. I thank the LORD for giving me strength every single time. I thank that LORD for you sister Nancy. GOD BLESS
Hi Gabby! What a great comment. You have the right attitude. Your faith and hope is taking you to greater things in God Keep going in the right direction!
Your words always inspire me…every morning. I am truly learning to trust and believe in God and what He is doing. The line about “is the devil lying about your marriage not making it” really hit home for me. My Grandmother recently told me that the devils only purpose is to Kill, Steal, and Destroy…and if you let him, he will do just that. I have a renewed faith in Jesus and that He will heal my marriage…I just have to be patient, get out of the way, and let Him work. I pray for help every single day and I know He will make it happen when the time is right, according to His schedule…not mine. Thank you again Nancy. Looking forward to tomorrow’s post.
Hi Dion! Thanks for your comment. I love what you grandmother told you. The devil works hard at destruction, we need to work hard at restoration. I will keep your marriage in prayer and so will all the other spouses that read this. Stay sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God is a miracle worker!!!
