Philippians 2:4-7
We can choose to get married even when we are not really ready. But throughout the Bible God gives us principles for how to have a successful relationship for his glory.
So here are 5 really important qualities God will develop in the Christian before releasing them into marriage. These are not the only 5 qualities needed to have a great relationship. These are just 5 really important ones.
Isaiah 1:16-20
Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil. Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.” (Isaiah 1:4-7)
Here are 4 things God will do when a nation turns from him.
Genesis 24:58
Last week we went over 3 Signs God Is Revealing Your Isaac to You. In that article we focused on how a Christian woman will know when God is revealing her future husband to her. In this article, we will focus on how a Christian man will know when God is revealing his future wife to him.
So here are 3 signs God is revealing “your Rebekah” to you.
Psalm 146:3-6
Who will win the election? Who does God want me to marry? What does this bad report from the doctor mean? Why did my ex break up with me? How will the economy affect me and my family? What if the person I did not vote for becomes president? When will God show me my calling?
Life is full of so many questions. Every day brings new concerns, new issues, and new tests for our faith in Jesus as his followers. While God does care about the details of our lives, while our individual choices certainly do have a good and bad consequences, and while we are not called to just stick our head in the sand and ignore the issues we see all around us, as Christians, ultimately God always expects us to remember his sovereignty so we might fully trust him.
So here are 3 signs God is saying, “Trust my sovereignty!”
Matthew 11:28-30
According to 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV), God always wants us to give him all of our worries, for it states, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
But sometimes there are specific worries about relationships which God is calling you to intentionally give to him. So here are 3 signs God is saying, “Give me your relationship worries.”
