The Rock

Incline Your ear to me; deliver me speedily; be my strong rock, a strong fortress to save me. For You are my rock and my fortress; for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
- Psalm 31:2-3

When we married, my wife and I made a covenant with God to place God at the center of our marriage and that d-i-v-o-r-c-e would never be mentioned in our home. It is simply not an option for us. When you marry you not only forsake all others but you forsake your right to be right. Divorce is a product of a home ruled by selfish wants and desires and is a satanic tactic to overthrow the throne of God.

Turn off television programs depicting adultery and marital strife. If you don't, these spirits will invade your mind and, subsequently, your home. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). Fill your home with the presence of God. Speak the words of unity and love to one another.

Paul said that we should in honor prefer one another above ourselves. (Romans 12:10). Prefer your mate's needs and desires above your own. Show your spouse today your love. Express your love and appreciation. Find little ways to show your love.

Most important of all, pray today with and for your spouse. If you do not have a spouse yet start praying for your future spouse. Center your relationship around Christ. Build it on a sure foundation. Marriages built on the Rock will never go "on the rocks."
