TOPIC: THANK GOD FOR HUMAN: 2. Thank God For Your Spouse.
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: (KJV)
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 2:23-25.
“23. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
The Second person to Thank God for is our spouse (or yet to be spouse for the unmarried), yes, Thank God for your partner. Listen to me, what you Thank God for only increases because God is always happy when you appreciate Him on behalf of something. When you thank God about your partner you have the opportunity to enjoy one another better. Marriages filled with complain, grumbling, nagging and quarrelling doesn’t last much compared to marriages where you thank God for having each other. We easily find faults in one another but find it difficult to thank God for having one another. When last did you appreciate God for giving you your spouse? You only ask God why did I married this man/woman? You’ve never seen reasons to bless God that you have a husband/wife? What you thank God for increases, even when you are not satisfied with it, Thank God wholeheartedly for Him/Her. Many are willing to get what you are complaining about.
When Adam woke up from sleep, he appreciated the woman he saw, and gave her a name. Thanking God for that man, that woman increases the closeness between couples. No man or woman is 100% good or 100% bad, but we mostly focuses on the bad sides of individuals so we only see reasons to complain and not reasons to thank God for them. Take out time today, as many times you remember, and Thank God for your spouse, thank God for what you are enjoying about them, thank God for giving him/her to you and you will see how handsome and beautify they become.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
